The dazzling new state-of-the-nation novel from one of America's
most significant contemporary writers and winner of the Women's
Prize for May We Be Forgiven, which explores the makings of our
political times. --- 'A terrific black comedy, written almost
entirely in pitch-perfect dialogue, that feels terrifyingly close
to the unfunny truth' - Salman Rushdie 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
