Arriving at The New Yorker 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 The Deadline 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 deadline, the "river of time that divides the quick from the dead." Echoing Gore Vidal's United States in its massive intellectual erudition, The Deadline, with its remarkable juxtaposition of the political and the personal, challenges the very nature of the essay--and of history--itself. 650 0 $a Twenty-first century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 14 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240809020354.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025009.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012306.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240412011001.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240316010546.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012511.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240111055921.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231205010643.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231202010404.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015536.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231108010510.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231104011815.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230906010155.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F2C9802495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
