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\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Liveright","offers":[{"title":"The Deadline | Jill Lepore | Paperback | 9781324095613 | New | Essays 1667446","offer_id":50789221826818,"sku":"1667446","price":43.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/714-V7b2d4L.jpg?v=1792296610","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/the-deadline","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
