**A LA TIMES' BEST BOOK OF 2017 (FICTION)
"A beautiful, moving, strange examination of apocalypse and rebirth.” - Neil Gaiman
"Erickson has mobilized so much of what feels pressing and urgent about the fractured state of the country in a way that feels fresh and not entirely hopeless, if only because the exercise of art in opposition to complacent thought can never be hopeless." - New York Times Book Review**
A chronicle of a weird road trip, a provocative work of alternative history, and a dazzling discography of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, encompassing artists from Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday to Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, SHADOWBAHN is a richly allusive meditation on the meaning of American identity and of America itself.
"Jaw-dropping," says Jonathan Lethem (Granta).
