Krátky popis
Few, if any, historians have brought such insight, wisdom, and
empathy to public discourse as Jill Lepore. Arriving at The New
Yorker in 2005, Lepore, with her panoptical range and razor-sharp
style, brought a transporting freshness and a literary vivacity to
everything from profiles of long-dead writers to urgent
constitutional analysis to an unsparing scrutiny of the woeful
affairs of the nation itself. The astonishing essays collected in
The Deadline offer a prismatic portrait of Americans'
techno-utopianism, frantic fractiousness, and unprecedented--but
armed--aimlessness. From lockdowns and race commissions to Bratz
dolls and bicycles, to the losses that haunt Lepore's life, these
essays again and again cross what she calls the deadline, the
",river of time that divides the quick from the dead.", Echoing
Gore Vidal's United States in its massive intellectual erudition,
The Deadline, with its remarkable juxtaposition of the political
and the personal, challenges the very nature of the essay--and of
history--itself.
