  Why does Eddie Reno quit his job at the K-Mart and head north from the Florida Keys? Why does war photographer Matthew Princeton leave New Orleans for a journey through his past to America's wild frontier? And why, thirty years after her husband's death, is Libbie Custer stranded in the Atlantic in the company of a large Russian bear?'A darkly rewarding novel ...Jeremy Poolman makes it clear that America is a place that everyone, native or not, has dreamed up, a fantasy made from the fragments of the historical past and from past fictions' -Times Literary SupplementTo find out more about the author, visit www.bloomsburymagazine.com/jeremypoolman

  Josh is haunted by memories of his father's violence. Eddie is ashamed of his own violent past. Matthew is crippled by the massacre at Antietam, and now adrift among the brothels of 19th-century New Orleans. These multiple narrative strands twist and turn like tree roots underground.
