An American Anger Story

An American Anger Story tells of two worlds that, though living side by side, rarely meet. America's unique blend of anxiety, violence, and greed are spotlighted here in a way that's ultimately gut-wrenching in its compassion. Although it's a story so close to home it doesn't jump out of the pages so much as yank you into them, the events unfold in a way as unpredictable as they are believable. Can Stan, a young adult from the ghetto sustain a meaningful friendship with Mr. Jackson, a wealthy land developer, who lives just miles away? Or will the seemingly violent imminence of their fates ultimately give way to a force able to give their lives more meaning than anyone ever imagined? This is a story that straddles two worlds, shoves them into a blender, turns it on, and then smashes the whole thing with a baseball bat, capturing a detailed representation of modern America.
