Synopsis "Against the day "

Spanning the period between the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and the years just after World War I, Against the Day moves from the labour troubles in Colorado to turn-of-the-century New York; from London to Venice, to Siberia, to Mexico during the revolution; silent-era Hollywood, and one or two places not strictly speaking on the map at all. It is a time of unrestrained corporate greed, false religiosity, moronic fecklessness, and evil intent in high places. Maybe it's not the world, but with a minor adjustment or two it's what the world might be.

De él apenas se sabe que estudió ingeniería y literatura en la Universidad de Cornell, donde fue alumno de Vladimir Nabokov (aunque éste no recordara haberlo tenido en clase), que redactó folletos técnicos para la compañía aérea Boeing, que envió a un cómico a recoger el National Book Award y que vive en Nueva York. Tusquets Editores ha publicado la integridad de su obra de ficción.
