Behold the Dreamers arrives with much fanfare. The novel’s premise is familiar: a young immigrant family crosses the globe to pursue the American dream. His wife, who’s loving New York City — the abundance, the opportunities, the knock-off designer purses! — can now become a pharmacist, and their young son will have a fine future. Their lifestyles are radically different — the black family lives in a Harlem walk-up, while the white family has a house in the Hamptons — but both men, strangely bound together as the driver and the driven, must alter their versions of the American dream.
