Summary
"On September 11, 2001, Ronald Sukenick was in his Battery Park studio working on a novel about the American "Museum of Temporary Art" when he looked out his window and saw the first of the planes strike the World Trade Center. He then proceeded to reconceive his novel, now entitled Last Fall, having grasped that the "Museum of Temporary Art" was America itself, and its icon the World Trade Center. In Last Fall an older generation of artists and intellectuals investigates an art theft, "something missing" from the Museum, but the transcience of the collections makes it impossible to identify what's gone. Recovering the work means exposing the secret of the "why" chromosome transforming all the suspects into an American family."--BOOK JACKET.
