A panoramic view of modern America, from the brilliant mind of Jill Lepore.
The past decade has marked a significant shift in America's trajectory. Jill Lepore, the acclaimed writer and New Yorker columnist, has been documenting its contentious storylines in real-time, beginning with the run-up to Donald Trump's election, through to the chaos and confusion left in its wake.
Here, we encounter Americans embracing techno-utopianism, experiencing frenzied fractiousness, and grappling with unprecedented but armed aimlessness. With the wit and verve that have made her the acclaimed national historian of a generation, these essays reflect on the consuming public fissures of this era: culture wars and the corrosion of the media; disruptive innovation and the future of technology; constitutional crises surrounding gun rights and the racial history behind the very language of insurrection.
Balancing a penetrating personal lens with indispensable history, she makes sense of life in a moment of aberration and extremity that has forever changed our political landscape.
The American Beast offers an arresting portrait of America, capturing the tumultuous relationship between the country's violent past and fractured present.
