A Call from Jersey

With A Call From New Jersey Kluge has outdone himself with a long view of the American experience and the steady mutation of the American dream.

Set in the1980's it follows the life of Hans Greifinger, a German-American who immigrated to the United States in 1928 and built a life for himself and his son, George, who has adopted the surname Griffin for his nationally-syndicated lackluster travel column.
