John Barth - Northland: A City Within A Nation

The year is 2045 and a well respected newspaper columnist, David
Cohen, is offered a once in a lifetime assignment. David is accustomed
to his somewhat mundane lifestyle, and suddenly finds himself in
unfamiliar territory and danger. David is desperate to uncover the
secrets of Northland. This segregated city was built within the U.S
borders and its policy is "White Christians Only." The leaders of
Northland legally circumvented the laws to build their city in the
heart of America. A hand picked group of media and journalists from
outside of Northland were invited to this city to interview its people
and leaders and report to the world the truth about this well guarded
city. For years the people of the United States have come to believe
that Northland and its leaders have other plans that could change the
way they live, and alter their lifestyles. David, with the help of his
assistant Connie, must obtain the proof he needs before he can write
his story. David unexpectedly finds himself falling for Connie and
struggles to keep his focus. Will other areas and other groups of
people now living in the United States follow the same path as the
city of Northland, or can we break the bigotry that has always existed
in America?
