"De retour à New York après l'enterrement de leur père, Erik Davidsen et sa soeur Inga découvrent que celui-ci aurait été jadis impliqué dans une mort mystérieuse. Un roman sur le non-dit et l'inconscient d'une Amérique déchirée entre l'apparente infaillibilité de ses mythologies fondatrices et la profondeur du désarroi venue les fissurer depuis le 11 septembre."
"When Erik Davidsen and his sister, Inga, find a disturbing note among their late father's papers, they believe he may be implicated in a mysterious death. The Sorrows of an American tells the story of the Davidsen family as brother and sister unbandage its wounds in the year following their father's funeral. Erik is a psychiatrist dangerously vulnerable to his patients; Inga is a writer whose late husband, a famous novelist, seems to have concealed a secret life. Interwoven with each new mystery in their lives are discoveries about their father's youth--poverty, the War, the Depression--that bring new implications to his relationship with his children."

Returning to New York from Minnesota, the grieving siblings continue to pursue the mystery behind the note.

A novel about fathers and children, listening and deafness, recognition and blindness; the pain of speaking and the pain of keeping silent, the ambiguities of memory, loneliness, illness, and recovery.
