About This Item
From back cover: The Unwinding tells the story of the past three decades by journeying through the lives of several Americans, including a son of tobacco farmers who becomes an evangelist for a new economy in the rural South, a factory worker in the Rust Belt trying to survive the collapse of her city, a Washington insider oscillating between political idealism and the lure of organized money, and a Silicon Valley billionaire who arrives at a radical vision of the future. Packer interweaves these stories with sketches of public figures, from Newt Gingrich to Jay-Z, and collages made from newspaper headlines, advertising slogans, and song lyrics."
"[Packer is] among the best nonfiction writers in America...[He] weaves an unforgettable tapestry...In its sensibility, The Unwinding is closer to a novel than a work of nonfiction. It is all the more powerful for it." - Edward Luce, Financial Times
