I don't know how it wound up on my booksheves - no idea where I got it from. May even read it again before it goes back to the library.
But it's a great find.Only OK as it was pretty short on plot. And my adolescent self still intact, now, more than 55 years after the world events in the book, which takes place around 1960-64. Peter, the protagonist, and I share a trait of having long interior dialogs that often stay internal. There is much to trouble and confuse the young American as he journeys through foreign countries-and feelings-into adulthood. Start by marking “Birds of America: A Novel” as Want to Read: The third book in the Edward series and I loved it! Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Some part of it takes place in America, while most of the rest is set in Paris and a little of Italy. A study of the ways America changed in the mid-1960s, but with none of the big historic moments, none of the sense of self-importance you get from most books on the topic. Peter Levi, the primary character in the novel, is a 19 year-old who has split his years to date between the northeast and California. It was my first by Mary McCarthy. Knowing a lot about her, as I do, I see how this reflects her personal politics and temperament, but it is definitely one of her least successful effortsMcCarthy tells the story of a young American named Peter Levi, during his anti-climatic journey through Italy and France, and the philosophical travails that he endures.

Where The Group is both timeless and an illuminating look into another era, this felt dated. Why is knowledge necessary for understanding art?

Mary McCarthy's splendid Birds of America is a moving and surprising coming-of-age tale: the unforgettable story of a young man's awakening, and a stunning evocation of the disorienting change of the 1960s.For someone like me - overthinking things, always trying to solve problems that aren't mine to solve, wondering why, being self-conscious - this book is marvellous.
