The Storm is Here
The New Yorker's award-winning war correspondent returns to his own country to chronicle a story of mounting civic breakdown and violent disorder, in a vivid eyewitness narrative of revelatory explanatory power. 'This is a searing book, exquisitely reported, lyrically told, and so vivid it will make your heart stop-a dark journey into what ails America' Patrick Radden Keefe On the morning of January 6, a gallows was erected on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. A little after noon, as thousands of Trump supporters marched past the structure, some paused to climb its wooden steps and take pictures of the US Capitol framed within an oval noose. Up ahead, the dull thud of stun grenades could...

These Heroic, Happy Dead
With his harrowing debut, Luke Mogelson provides an unsentimental, unflinching glimpse into the lives of those forever changed by war. Subtle links between these ten powerful stories magnify the consequences of combat for both soldiers and civilians, as the violence experienced abroad echoes through their lives in America. Troubled veterans first introduced as criminals in “To the Lake” and “Visitors” are shown later in “New Guidance” and “Kids,” during the deployments that shaped their futures. A seemingly minor soldier in “New Guidance” becomes the protagonist of “A Human Cry,” where his alienation from society leads to a shocking confrontation. The fate of a haples...
The Storm Is Here
The New Yorker's award-winning war correspondent returns to his own country to chronicle its accelerating civic breakdown, in an indelible eyewitness narrative of startling explanatory power After years of living abroad and covering the Global War on Terrorism, Luke Mogelson went home in early 2020 to report on the social discord that the pandemic was bringing to the fore across the US. An assignment that began with right-wing militias in Michigan soon took him to an uprising for racial justice in Minneapolis, then to antifascist clashes in the streets of Portland, and ultimately to an attempted insurrection in Washington, D.C. His dispatches for The New Yorker revealed a larger story with o...
La tempesta è qui
Specchiarsi nell’America, tentando a seconda dei casi di somigliarle il più o il meno possibile, è un esercizio cui gli occidentali si dedicano quasi da quando l’America esiste. Ma da qualche tempo, quello specchio è diventato scuro, e rimanda immagini sempre più confuse e allarmanti. Luke Mogelson, uno dei grandi reporter dell’ultima generazione, è stato fra i primi ad accorgersene e a mettersi in strada, cominciando un lungo viaggio che da Owosso, in Michigan – dalla bottega di Karl Manke, il barbiere NoMask diventato un incrocio fra un eroe popolare e un guru dell’altright – lo ha portato fin dentro il Campidoglio saccheggiato, il 6 gennaio 2021. E alla fine Mogelson ha steso un rapporto – questo – che in alcuni momenti sembra la cronaca di un’allucinazione collettiva, in altri un romanzo americano di un genere nuovo, senza ancora un nome: mentre è soprattutto la prima, sinistra descrizione di un evento meteorologico estremo, e fin qui sconosciuto. Nient’affatto locale e, ci convinciamo una pagina dopo l’altra, destinato a ripetersi.
Ces morts heureux et héroïques
Un vétéran cherche à reconquérir sa femme et part la retrouver chez ses parents, là où elle s’est réfugiée après qu’il l’a frappée. Une mère célibataire fait de longs trajets pour aller voir son fils en prison – il a tué un homme d’un coup de poing lors d’une permission. Un infirmier de retour de mission élit domicile dans un réduit de l’arsenal de la garde nationale de New York, incapable de rentrer chez lui. Un journaliste raconte sa vie en Afghanistan, entre ironie et désespoir, avant qu’une bombe ne fasse sauter le café dans lequel il se trouve. En dix histoires subtilement liées les unes aux autres, Luke Mogelson dépeint les conséquences de la guerre sur les combattants et les civils, et la manière dont la violence subie ou infligée à l’autre bout du monde se répercute jusqu’aux États-Unis.
Hungry Horse
In this intimate portrait of an unfamiliar America, award-winning photojournalist Pieter ten Hoopen takes us to Hungry Horse, Montana. One in three residents of this small town subsist below the poverty line and most live in trailer and caravans. During extended periods spent here over a period of six years, ten Hoopen discovered great compassion and human warmth in an environment beset by unemployment, drugs and deprivation. The photographs have enjoyed wide acclaim and won several prizes. Exhibition: Galleri Kontrast, Stockholm, Sweden (1.2015- ).
Attention Servicemember
Attention Servicemember is Ben Brody's searing elegy to the experience of the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Brody was a soldier assigned to make visual propaganda during the Iraq War. After leaving the army, he traveled to Afghanistan as an independent civilian journalist. Returning to rural New England after 12 years at war, he found his home unrecognizable - even his own backyard radiated menace and threat. So he continued photographing the war as it exists in his own mind. This critically-acclaimed photobook was shortlisted for the Aperture-Paris Photo First Book Award and is now in its second printing.
Abolishing Surveillance
The Department of Justice sought information on all who visited the DisruptJ20.org website for Donald Trump's inauguration. Undercover agents infiltrate BlackLivesMatter protests. Police routinely command bystanders to stop filming them by falsely claiming it is a crime. Agricultural states like Iowa, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming enact laws that criminalize the filming of factory farm cruelty while allowing other-the-human animal suffering to continue unabated. Dissent and poverty are increasingly criminalized by the state as precarity grows. Abolishing Surveillance offers the first in-depth study of how various communities and activist organizations are resisting such efforts by integrating dig...
Ghost Letters
In Ghost Letters, one emigrates to America again, and again, and again, though one also never leaves Senegal, the country of one’s birth; one grows up in America, and attends university in America, though one also never leaves Senegal, the country of one’s birth; one wrestles with one’s American blackness in ways not possible in Senegal, though one never leaves Senegal, the country of one’s birth; and one sees more deeply into Americanness than any native-born American could. Ghost Letters is a 21st century Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, though it is a notebook of arrival and being in America. It is a major achievement. —Shane McCrae
