These are people contending with internal struggles--a son's fractured relationship with his father, the death of a mother, the loss of a job, drug addiction--even as they are battered by larger, often invisible, economic, political, and racial forces of American society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSearing, intimate, often slyly funny, and always marked by a deep imaginative sympathy, \u003cem\u003eAmerican Estrangement\u003c\/em\u003e is a testament to our addled times.
