Historical
The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the
home of an affluent American family. One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry
Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their
house. And almost magically, the line between fantasy and
historical fact, between real and imaginary characters,
disappears. Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, J. P. Morgan, Evelyn
Nesbit, Sigmund Freud, and Emiliano Zapata slip in and out
of the tale, crossing paths with Doctorow's imagined family
and other fictional characters, including an immigrant
peddler and a ragtime musician from Harlem whose insistence
on a point of justice drives him to revolutionary violence.
