Scott Fitzgerald, D. H. Lawrence, Norman Mailer, Ann Beattie, Washington Irving, Jim Harrison, and California. THE RECOVERY OF INNOCENCE America is founded on a vision of community, yet driven by a tradition of heroic individualism. The country's head craves the stimulation of the open road, even as its heart longs for the security of home. At the same time, the American Dream encourages chasing the future, while the American Reality involves fleeing the past; the nation is bound to grow old, yet it cannot afford to relinquish the openness, the freshness, the idealism that are its birthright and its saving grace. These dilemmas can only be solved, these divisions only settled, by the recovery of a higher innocence. Without death, after all, there can be no regeneration. Thus Apocalypse-minded America is forever in search of an innocence that comes not before experience of the world, but after it. That quest inspires and illuminates the American tradition — and the seven essays presented here. inventory #10535.
