What to expect
‘Allende is one of the most important novelists to emerge from Latin America in the past decade’ Boston Globe
Growing up in 1940s Los Angeles, Gregory Reeves’ outlook on life was always guided by two beliefs. The first: his fear of death was something to be conquered. The second: his father’s radical religious doctrine, ‘The Infinite Plan’, was immutably true.
But when he leaves the barrio where he spent his youth for Berkeley, San Francisco, both beliefs are called into question. Soon he has graduated from college, and finds himself in the thick of the Vietnam War. And when he returns, how can he possibly think of life and death in the same way?
Following one man’s journey through the twentieth century, The Infinite Plan asks: how much can the American reality shape one’s pursuit of the American Dream?
