In Curtis White's first novel, The Idea Of Home, he attempts to
imagine "a place in which humans can live." This utopia is
definitely not San Lorenzo - a post-war, prefabricated suburb in
California - where White grew up and which is the basis for this
novel. From the vantage point of anoff-kilter adulthood, White
spins recent American history together with personal observations
and investigations into the dark heart of American suburbia.
Shocking, yet very funny and always learned, The Idea Of Home is a
mix of the personal and the philosophical in an energetic collage
that would resemble the biographies of Nietzsche and Mark Twain if
they had grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1950s and
'60s.
