“To Paradise” runs to a little more than 700 pages and is set in New York in three different time periods: 1893, 1993 and 2093. For almost everyone who chose to come over here, America is some kind of paradise, including my own ancestors. In the three time periods, it posits three different versions of the American experiment, but the history isn’t what we’d expect. In the first book (section), I wanted to explore an America that was not founded on the idea of Puritanism. And in the third book, America basically becomes a vassal state of China.
