New York Times bestselling author Ben Fountain recounts 2016 - a surreal year of American politics - in his new nonfiction book, Beautiful Country Burn Again.
Meet Ben Fountain, author of Beautiful Country Burn Again: Democracy, Rebellion, and Revolution. In a sweeping work of reportage set over the course of 2016, the New York Times bestselling author recounts a surreal year of politics and an exploration of the third American existential crisis. In an urgent and deeply incisive voice, Fountain has fused history and the present day to paint a startling portrait of the state of our nation.
Fountain is also the author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, winner of the National Book Critics' Circle Award and a finalist for the National Book Award. His short story collection, Brief Encounters with Che Guevara, was a national bestseller and a winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award for Fiction.
