On the cusp of a new millennium, those beginning their careers in law, accounting, business, education, politics, government and computers have no idea their world is changing-terror attacks, the tech stock crash, war. 'American Elegy' is the tale of people brought up in one world, only to find out that their country is no longer what they thought it was. Vested interests struggle to retain dominance in a changing world. Young adults are caught in the whipsaw of change: some adapt, some are destroyed and others try to understand what is happening. These characters-they are people you know. You live in their world. Their fears and concerns, are yours too. 'American Elegy' details the slow, invisible twisting of what it means to be American in the 21st century. America is different now. And so are you.
