George Packer comes to the Capitola Book Cafe to discuss his newest release The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America. This book tells the story of the U.S. over the past three decades with George Packer's characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. Readers will be taken on a journey through the lives of several Americans, including the son of tobacco farmers, who becomes an evangelist for a new economy in the rural South; a factory worker in the Rust Belt trying to survive the collapse of her city; a Washington insider oscillating between political idealism and the lure of organized money; and others.
