Dreamerika!, Alan Burns's fourth novel, first published in 1972,
provides a satirical look at the Kennedy political dynasty, serving
up an idiosyncratic hotch-potch of history that gives an old
tragedy new meaning. For this book, Burns collected newspaper
clippings, headlines, cartoons and photographs, cut them up, filed
them and then interspersed them throughout his text to create a
collage of contrasting effects. Presented in a fragmented form that
reflects society's disintegration, Dreamerika! fuses fact and
dream, resulting in a surreal biography, an alternate history which
lays bare the corruption and excesses of capitalism just as the
heady idealism of the 1960s has begun to fade.
