I Giardini dei dissidenti di Jonathan Lethem

Il romanzo racconta le vicende di due donne straordinarie. Rose Zimmer, una comunista irriducibile e volubile che terrorizza il suo quartiere e la sua famiglia con la forza della sua personalità e l'assolutismo delle sue convinzioni; e sua figlia Miriam, americana anti-americana, ugualmente appassionata, impegnata a sfuggire alla soffocante influenza di Rose. Entrambe sembrano trattenere con un incantesimo gli uomini che entrano nelle loro vite: Albert, l'aristocratico marito di Rose, ebreo tedesco; il suo inetto nipote Lenny Angrush; Cicero Lookins, figlio dell'amante nero di Rose, un poliziotto; Tommy Gogan, il marito di Miriam, cantante folk irlandese; il loro figlio, sempre disorientato, Sergius. All'inseguimento dei propri ideali, tutti lottano per rincorrere le proprie passioni e i propri sogni utopici in un'America in cui ogni forma di radicalismo è vista con perplessità, ostilità o indifferenza. Nel corso dei decenni - attraverso il comunismo degli anni '30, il maccartismo, il movimento per i diritti civili, le comuni degli anni '70, il romanticismo dei Sandinisti, fino al movimento Occupy - tutti si mettono alla prova, in un continuo conflitto tra pubblico e privato, desiderio e senso del dovere, libertà e conformismo.… (altro)
