Recovering narcissist Skip Gershwin loses his teaching job and his condo on the same day. It’s only through the intervention of his friend, cognitive scientist Gudrun Frege, that he’s saved from plummeting head first into a vortex of total despair. During this trying moment in his life, the one thing that sustains him is his strange fascination with the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, the largest and most spectacular fair ever held in the United States. When strangers bring him a time machine, he gets the chance to travel back to ‘64 and view the fair he visited as a child through newly opened adult eyes.
Accompanied by two brilliant former students and Gudrun herself, Gershwin is forced to confront evils that scarred America's past, stain its present, and threaten to annihilate its future.
In the tradition of Thomas Pynchon's V. and Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Herb Guggenheim's Resurrection 2020 is both savagely funny and gut wrenchingly serious. It promises to shed new light on America’s past sins and present transgressions.
