Jane Kramer's "The Last Cowboy"

Paper Summary:

This paper talks about the theme found throughout all of Kramer's books and takes a special look at how "The Last Cowboy" also reflects that theme. In particular, the paper stresses that Kramer's books talk about the reaction in the U.S. to the collapse of the promise of the "American dream", a dream with which many still identify with, but fewer come to actually put in practice and live out.

From the Paper:

"Jane Kramer's works, both her books and the articles she has published, somewhat reflect the American reality as it is perceived by Europe and the Europeans she spends much of her time with. In many ways, the United States are a different matter for the Europeans, who will never be able to understand the logic of the Electoral College, with the mess it can lay out such as it has in 2000, or "understanding the fuss over Monica Lewinsky" .
