Dream of Another America - Softcover
Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award
“The ‘dream’ in 'Dream of Another America' is both a noun and an imperative verb of hope: Tyler McMahon has written a 'Grapes of Wrath' for contemporary America. Like Steinbeck’s classic, 'Dream of Another America' urges readers to confront the costs and sacrifices of the American Dream. Beautifully written, emotionally gripping, narratively propulsive, and morally important, this book should be necessary reading for every American.” —Shawna Yang Ryan

About the Author:
Tyler McMahon is the author of the novels "How the Mistakes Were Made" and "Kilometer 99". He studied at the University of Virginia and Boise State University. He teaches writing at Hawai’i Pacific University, edits the "Hawai’i Pacific Review," and organizes the Ko’oalu Writers Workshop.
Review:
"McMahon's contribution to the body of immigrant literature is entrenched in questions of nationality, poverty, and family. He achieves a storytelling feat by creating an incredibly realistic narrative that is as poignant as it is breathtaking."
