"Spanning the period between the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and the
years just after World War I, Against the Day moves from the labor
troubles in Colorado to turn-of-the-century New York, to London and
Göttingen, Venice and Vienna, the Balkans, Central Asia, Siberia at
the time of the mysterious Tunguska Event, Mexico during the
Revolution, postwar Paris, silent-era Hollywood, and one or two places
not strictly speaking on the map at all."
