The Big Guy loves his family, money and democracy. Undone by the results of the 2008 Presidential election, he taps a group of like-minded men to reclaim their version of America. As they build a scheme to disturb and disrupt, the Big Guy also faces turbulence within his family and must take responsibility for his past actions. For his wife and daughter are having their own awakenings: self-denying Charlotte enters rehab, and eighteen year old Megan, who has voted for the first time, explores a political future that deviates from her father' s ideology, while delving into deeply buried family secrets. Dark, funny and prescient, The Unfolding explores the implosion of the dream and how we arrived in today' s divided world.
From her first book onward, A. M. Holmes has been challenging us to look at fiction, the world, and one another as we haven' t done-because we haven' t had the nerve, the eyes, the dire and dispassionate imagination. Gripping, sad, funny, by turns aching and antic and, as always, exceedingly well-observed and written, The Unfolding opens up another one of her jagged windows, at times indistinguishable from a crack, in the world that is always unfolding, and always vanishing, around us -- Michael Chabon A terrific black comedy, written almost entirely in pitch-perfect dialogue, that feels terrifying close to the unfunny truth -- Salman Rushdie
A. M. Homes is the author of the novels May We Be Forgiven, which won the Women' s Prize 2013, This Book Will Save Your Life, a Richard and Judy pick in 2007, Music for Torching, The End of Alice, In a Country of Mothers and Jack, three collections of short stories, Days of Awe, Things You Should Know and The Safety of Objects, and the highly acclaimed memoir The Mistress' s Daughter, as well as the travel memoir Los Angeles: People, Places and the Castle on the Hill. She is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair, writes frequently on arts and culture for numerous magazines and newspapers and teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Princeton. She was born in Washington D. C. and lives in New York City.
