This book flips the perspective in Exit West, where the immigrants were presumably from an undisclosed Middle Eastern nation living in identified Western nations. In 2 AM in Little America, Americans are the immigrants living in undisclosed nations around the globe. The impression is clear: immigrants anywhere are the underclass. I also relate this to Slaughterhouse Five, as the only other book I've read in a day. A personal lesson: why I like dystopian novels? I look for cultural threads in our world and how they are expressed in the imagined future. Kalfus imagines our ever fractious division is taken into those few countries willing to accept us. Novel themes included personal memories and our relationship with our dog. This latter helps decide which camp we belong in. Ron, our hero, remains apolitical, and conflates memory of girls from high school with those he observes and meets.
