Título: An American Dreamer
Autor: David Finkel
Sinopse: A man navigates the deep divisions in America today and discovers that sometimes change can start by finding common ground with your neighbors in this immersive account by the Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Thank You for Your Service and The Good Soldiers. Finkels account is poetic, profound, and irresistibly page-turning.Geraldine Brooks, author of Horse As this powerful book begins, Brent Cummings finds himself coping with the feeling that the country he loves is fracturing in front of his eyes. An Iraq war veteran, raised to believe in a vision of America that values fairness, honesty, and respect for others, Cummings is increasingly surprised by the behavior and beliefs of others, and engulfed by the fear, anger, and confusion that is sweeping through his beloved country as he tries to hold on to his values and his hope for Americas future. David Finkel, known for his unique, in-depth reporting, spent fourteen years deep inside Brent Cummingss world to create this intimate and vivid portrait of a mans life, his work, family, community, his thoughts, and his quest for connection, as America becomes ever more divided. Cummings was one of the unforgettable figures in Finkels The Good Soldiers, a book about which The New York Times stated, Finkel has made art out of a defining moment in history. You will be able to take this book down from the shelf years from now, and say: This is what happened. This is what it felt like. An American Dreamer illuminates, with the deepest empathy, the feelings and lives of many people in America today, and it is a brilliant chronicle of one persons everyday experiences of frustration, confusion, and hope.
