With a real knowledge of the American culture and geography, Romain Gary explores the various faces of the American territory throughout his novels. Transit points, offering refuge or confinement, bearers of hopes and dreams, or representing the social inequalities and nurturing its revolts, the American cities have a strong symbolic role to play. They harbour the characters’ journeys while accompanying their actions and the transformations at work in the American society.
