Dupa succesul romanului de debut "Sapte Ani de America," Cezar Giosan revine cu un exercitiu literar de exceptie. "Americanul," un roman epic cu un happy-end trans-generational, este povestea adevarata a unui imigrant roman in America la inceputul secolului trecut.
Mitu Popescu, un cioban din Novaci, Oltenia, emigreaza in Lumea Noua cu acte false in 1913, iar destinul i se desfasoara apoi ca un vifor. Dragoste si ura, binecuvantare si disperare, suisuri si coborasuri, sunt prezente intr-o naratiune ce are o doza perfecta de tensiune cinematografica, indemnandu-l pe cititor sa intoarca mereu pagina pentru a vedea ce urmeaza.
Textul este amplu si intens, in stil rebreano-predist, si acopera, prin viata remarcabila a protagonistului, jumatate de secol de evenimente istorice de importanta profunda: Marele Razboi, crahul de pe Wall Street din toamna lui 1929, Marea Depresie, prohibitia si contrabanda cu alcool, Garda de Fier, Al Doilea Razboi Mondial, foametea din Moldova din '46, instaurarea regimurilor comuniste in Europa de Est, suferinta si tortura indescriptibila din inchisorile comuniste romanesti de dupa razboi. Printre randuri, cititorul poate simti cum povestea decurge intr-o maniera "anti Great Man" in ciuda eforturilor lui Mitu, care se afla intr-o cautare continua a fericirii si sacrifica multe pentru a atinge Visul American, circumstantele in care se gaseste sunt extraordinar de puternice, conducandu-i destinul in directii tragice.
Textul este o scriitura de substanta si o realizare literara remarcabila, iar relevanta actuala este imediata: depresia economica, visele naruite, dificultatile financiare ale omului de rand.

"Americanul Cezar Giosan este dincolo de toate asertiunile posibile un romancier veritabil. Povestea de viata a lui Mitu Popescu sta ascunsa intr-o constructie romanesca de 500 de pagini... si spun (scriu) "ascuns," pentru ca incercarea donquijotesca a romanului de la inceputul secolului trecut de a-si schimba destinul romanesc dincolo de ocean pare o descindere in subteranele memoriei noastre mai adanci sau mai recente. De aceea, cred in sansa acestei carti de a deschide subtil o granita intre fictiunea literara si fictiunea istoriei."
CRISTIAN TUDOR POPESCU, Jurnalist."Am citit manuscrisul "Americanului" si trebuie sa marturisesc ca am avut lacrimi in ochi. Este povestea multora dintre strabunicii nostri, mai ales a acelora care au venit in America din Ardeal."
DR. ILEANA ORLICH, profesoara de studii romanesti si literatura comparata la Arizona State University."Pentru mine, intalnirea cu lumea copilariei pe care am trait-o la inceputul secolului trecut este o mare bucurie. Am avut sansa, gratie acestui roman, de a reintra in dialog cu acei oameni, de a-i cunoaste, de a le reintelege faptuirile si rostirile. Este privilegiul celor care vor citi cartea tanarului scriitor Cezar Giosan sa intre si ei in dialog cu sperantele, dramele, realitatile unei alte epoci."
MIHAI SORA, om de cultura.Cezar Giosan, profesor de psihologie la Berkeley College, New York, si City University of New York, a venit in America in 1998 pentru a-si urma doctoratul in psihologie, stabilindu-se apoi definitiv in New York. Romanul sau de debut "Sapte Ani de America," o autobiografie romantata a primilor ani pe Pamantul Fagaduintei, s-a bucurat de o receptie calduroasa in Romania.
