Resumen:
A Disorder Peculiar to the Country.Joyce and Marshall Harriman struggle to divorce each other while sharing a cramped Brooklyn apartment with their two small children. One summer morning, Joyce departs for the airport to catch United Flight 93 to San Francisco and Marshall goes to his office in the World Trade Center. She misses her flight and he's late for work, but on that grim day in a devastated city, among millions seized by fear and grief, each thinks the other is dead - and they are secretly, shamefully, gloriously happy, at least until they find each other at home. A Disorder Peculiar to the Country follows Joyce and Marshall as their divorce conflict intensifies, and they suffer, in unexpectedly personal ways, the many strange ravages that beset America in the first years of the Bush Administration. |
