Arriving at \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eThe Deadline\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003edeadline\u003c\/em\u003e, the \"river of time that divides the quick from the dead.\" Echoing Gore Vidal's \u003cem\u003eUnited States\u003c\/em\u003e in its massive intellectual erudition, \u003cem\u003eThe Deadline\u003c\/em\u003e, with its remarkable juxtaposition of the political and the personal, challenges the very nature of the essay--and of history--itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 640\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.1 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978199826733,"sku":"9781324095613","price":24.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/Cc79DCLDEw9781324095613.webp?v=1775800979","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-deadline-essays-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
