An only child in a typical middle-American family, T's first love is money, and specifically the faces on the bills - Jackson, Hamilton, and Lincoln. As his peers go through teen crises, T accumulates, playing the responsible capitalist individual, and set up a successful real estate business. But T's material life begins to change after he adopts a dog meets a girl, and takes his mother in after she splits with his father. But when events conspire to leave T isolated again he starts to lose faith in people and civilisation and turns to nature instead, developing a strange and powerful obsession with endangered animals...How the Dead Dream is a brilliant, moving novel about human loneliness and environmental loss, from one of America's most exciting literary voices.
