A Firm State of Heart

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of Washington, DC, the story follows young poet Samuel Meckler, who navigates the complexities of life as a waiter while documenting the zeitgeist through his writing. His experiences with political figures and cultural circles during pivotal events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of George Floyd shape his worldview. The narrative explores themes of idealism and the quest for new values in a digital age, focusing on the evolution of literature rather than direct political commentary, even in the Trump era.
