Shopping Cart & Checkout Only Love Can Break Your Heart$16.95  In Only Love Can Break Your Heart, David Samuels writes with a reportorial acumen and stylistic flair that recall the pioneering New Journalism of Gay Talese, Tom Wolfe, and Joan Didion. Combining elegant, nuanced, personal essays with far-out reporting—on the lives of radicals in the Pacific Northwest, anti-abortion zealots, demolition experts, suburban hip-hop stars, and more—Samuels shows us an American Landscape whose unsettling mix of profound dislocations and blue-sky optimism is both instantly recognizable and thrillingly new. These essays display his unusual sensitivity to both the tragic and comic dissonances that bubble up from the gap between the American promise of endless nirvana and the lives of salesmen, dreamers aging baseball legends, crackpots, atomic test site workers, and dog track bettors who struggle to live out their dreams one day at a time. “Samuels’s reportage is at its best. He wryly flays false constructions of American reality on the right, left, and places in between.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review |
