It’s here! Wishing a very happy #PubDay to THE UNFOLDING, the much-anticipated new novel the New York Times Book Review calls "a sharply observed, wickedly funny political satire by the reliably brilliant A.M. Homes.”
At turns prescient and deeply tender, THE UNFOLDING is a darkly comedic alternative history that takes us into the heart of a fractured family living in a divided country. The novel opens on the eve of the 2008 election; Homes introduces the Big Guy, a wealthy McCain donor who feels unmoored by Obama’s victory and the inevitable new era in American history he will usher in. In response, the Big Guy taps a group of like-minded men to reclaim their version of the American Dream. But as they build a scheme to disturb and disrupt, the Big Guy also faces shifting dynamics within his family. His daughter begins to realize that her favorite subject—history—is not exactly what her father taught her, while his dutiful wife hits a breaking point. As much about family as the desire for those in power to remain in power, THE UNFOLDING is a “terrific black comedy...that feels terrifyingly close to the unfunny truth” (Salman Rushdie).
