"An American Tragedy" is the story of Clyde Griffiths, who spends his life in the desperate pursuit of success. On a deeper, more profound level, it is the masterful portrayal of the society whose values both shape Clyde`s ambitions and seal his fate; it is an unsurpassed depiction of the harsh realities of American life and of the dark side of the American dream. Extraordinary in scope and power, vivid in its sense of wholesale human waste, unceasing in its rich compassion, "An American Tragedy" stands as Theodore Dreiser`s supreme achievement.

David Bell embodies the American dream. He`s twenty-eight, has survived office coups, scandals, and beaten lesser rivals, to become an extremely successful TV exec.

He wants reality, to touch, feel and record what is real. He takes a camera and journeys across America in a mad, roving quest to discover and capture some sense of his own and his country`s past, present and future. "Americana" is Don DeLillo`s brilliant first novel.
