When his best friend announces her divorce, Elliot
sees his last chance for happiness. Embittered by
the reality of the world that replaced the idyllic
promises of his 1950’s youth, Elliot Meyers decides
to make an all-or-nothing gamble on life. Set in the
early 1990’s, A Burden to the Earth explores
America’s nostalgia for the past, fear of the
future, and the cost of dwelling on both.
