USSA, by Peter Wludyka

USSA: The Past Is Another Country, by Peter Wludyka supposes what America and society would have been like had America been taken over by the Soviet Union long ago. Americans are looked down on by Russians as lazy and not worthy of the socialist state. A young man with an American mother and a Russian father must negotiate his path to adulthood. This jarring story involves subversive literature, and a war of ideas that goes on in a young man's mind. This is an unusual and well-told story that will haunt the reader with visions of what might have been, what is, and what may yet be.
