The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner

5.0

Delightfully deep look at life, love, and everything seen through the eyes of 1970's New York art scenesters and the family of an Italian soldier-cum-bourgois industrialist. Spans Italy from WWI through the 1970's, WWII-era Brazilian rubber "plantations", and 1970's New York City as well as the deserts of Nevada. Gorgeous writing.
