dc.description.abstract	Young Americans is a collection of short stories that follows the youth, the young adult, those forced to grow up too quickly, into a territory somewhere between the familiar and the foreign. The collection explores themes of isolation and exploration, escape and escapism, freedom and isolation, reality and fantasy. The stories take place across the United States, from the bayous of south Louisiana and the French Quarter of New Orleans, to the west coast of Florida, even non-descript locations in a not-too-distant future. Plots explore youth misguided and misinformed, homosexual repression, the hivemind of religion, caught somewhere between substance and substances, the blurred line between the real and virtual worlds, and the tragedy of one-night stands. Each story dissects the young American in an alien America, the familiar and the foreign, caught in the threshold between one life and the next.	en_US
