The Unfolding is a captivating novel by A. M. Holmes, a highly regarded contemporary writer in America. This novel delves into the intricate tapestry of our political times, offering a profound exploration of the forces that shape our society.
The story revolves around the character of The Big Guy, a man who adores his family, wealth, and democracy. However, the outcome of the 2008 Presidential election leaves him disheartened and determined to reclaim his version of America. He gathers a group of like-minded individuals, each with their own motivations and aspirations, to embark on a scheme aimed at disturbing and disrupting the status quo.
As the plot unfolds, The Big Guy grapples with personal turmoil as well. He must confront the consequences of his past actions and take responsibility for the impact they have had on his wife and daughter. Charlotte, his wife, enters rehab, seeking to overcome her addiction, while Megan, his eighteen-year-old daughter, embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She explores a political future that diverges from her father's ideology, delving into deeply buried family secrets.
The Unfolding is a dark, funny, and prescient novel that delves into the implosion of the dream and the circumstances that led to our current divided world. Holmes' writing is characterized by her unique perspective and dispassionate imagination. She challenges readers to look at fiction, the world, and one another in ways that we haven't done before, urging us to cultivate the nerve, eyes, and imagination necessary to truly understand the complexities of our existence.
The novel is filled with vivid descriptions and intricate characterizations, making it a captivating read from beginning to end. Holmes' writing style is gripping, sad, funny, and at times aching and antic. She excels in capturing the nuances of human emotions and relationships, allowing readers to deeply connect with the characters and their journeys.
The Unfolding offers a window into another one of Holmes' jagged windows, a crack in the world that is always unfolding and vanishing around us. It is a testament to the author's talent and ability to convey the complexities of contemporary life with honesty and depth. This novel is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the makings of our political times and the human condition in general.
