		But with the recent publication of her historical novel, “In America,” it seems that Sontag is back, perhaps kinder, maybe gentler, but definitely in full possession of her intimidating intellectual style coupled this time with a subject that allows her talents the freedom to play and experiment that they richly deserve.
		“In America” ostensibly follows the life of a Polish actress, Maryna Zalezowska, who is loosely based on Polish diva Helena Modrzejewska, as she travels to California with some of her closest friends to form a commune.
		The man standing next to Maryna could be her lover, husband or a character that will not even appear in the novel.

	Susan Sontag : In America : Book Review
		Always we are learning what it is to be a famous actress, what it is to act, what works and does not work ("Never acknowledge a mishap."), just how stage behavior applies to real life.
		Once known, it's easy to see that the novel is based on the life of actress Helena Modrzejewska, however, Sontag uses an interesting technique to not have to worry about the story being one hundred percent accurate.
		The narrator has just "dropped in" on a party being held in honor of a guest called "Helena or Maryna" and she's trying to figure the gossip and the names and relations of all the other friends.

		"Perhaps that's an illusion, but I feel nostalgic for every era before I was born." Sontag brings to life her nostalgia for the 1800s in this fictional account of celebrated Polish actress Maryna Zalezowska--a character based on real-life 19th-century diva Helena Modrzejewska.
		Beginning in 1876, the novel follows Maryna as she abandons the stage in her native land to establish a utopian commune near Anaheim, California.
		Trailing behind her to this new land of opportunity are a group of Poles that includes her husband, her son, and a young love-struck writer, Ryszard Kierul, modeled after Nobel laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz, Modrzejewska's lover.
