Fiction. Winner of the Great Lakes Novel Prize. "Erika Meyers' Kafkaesque fable gives us a contemporary America of disappearing prosperity, endangered jobs, and fragmented families as witnessed specifically in the city grit of Cleveland, Ohio.... Free of caricature, STRANGERS IN AMERICA is peopled with individuals rich in human complexity.... When you finish STRANGERS IN AMERICA, the main character Helena Adamzik will still be there: tough, deadpan funny, proud and enduring"--Robert Flanagan, final judge, Great Lakes Novel Prize.
