The Unfolding

In this wickedly funny and sharply observed political satire, A.M. Homes explores the tumultuous dynamics of a family caught in the crosshairs of American politics and personal upheaval. Centered around the Big Guy, who, disillusioned by the 2008 presidential election, seeks to reclaim the American Dream, the story unfolds as his family grapples with their own internal struggles. As his wife mourns lost opportunities and his daughter questions the history she's learned, the narrative provocatively examines themes of truth, freedom, and democracy, revealing the explosive impact of differing perspectives within a single household.
