New York Times Editors' Choice and Chicago Tribune top book for
2020 "Mill Town is the book of a lifetime; a deep-drilling,
quick-moving, heartbreaking story. Scathing and tender, it lifts
often into poetry, but comes down hard when it must. Through it all
runs the river: sluggish, ancient, dangerous, freighted with
America's sins." --Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland Kerri
Arsenault grew up in the small, rural town of Mexico, Maine, where
for over 100 years the community orbited around a paper mill that
provided jobs for nearly everyone in town, including three
generations of her family. Kerri had a happy childhood, but years
after she moved away, she realized the price she paid for that
childhood. The price everyone paid. The mill, while providing the
social and economic cohesion for the community, also contributed to
its demise. Mill Town is a book of narrative nonfiction,
investigative memoir, and cultural criticism that illuminates the
rise and collapse of the working-class, the hazards of loving and
leaving home, and the ambiguous nature of toxics and disease with
the central question; Who or what are we willing to sacrifice for
our own survival?
