Download Tales of Two Americas: Stories of Inequality in a Divided Nation AudioBook Free
America is broken. You don't desire a fistful of figures to know this. Visit any city, and evidence of our shattered communal compact will present itself. From Appalachia to the Rust Belt and down to rural Tx, the gap between the wealthiest and the poorest exercises to unimaginable chasms. Whether the cause of this inequality is systemic injustice, the entrenchment of racism inside our culture, the long conflict on drugs, or immigration plans, it endangers not only the American Goal but our very lives. In Stories of Two Americas, some of the literary world's most fascinating authors look beyond figures and wages to mention what it feels like to stay in this divided country. Their extraordinarily powerful reports, essays, and poems illustrate how boundaries break down when activities are shared, and this in sharing our reports we can help to alleviate a suffering that touches so many people. Creators include Anthony Doerr, Ann Patchett, Roxane Gay, Rebecca Solnit, Hector Tobar, Joyce Carol Oates, Edwidge Danticat, Richard Russo, Eula Bliss, Karen Russell, and so many more.
