Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A wickedly funny dystopian parody set in a financially apocalyptic future America, from the critically acclaimed author of Triburbia. In a future America that feels increasingly familiar, you are your credit score. Extreme wealth inequality has created a class of have-nothings: Subprimes. Their bad credit ratings make them unemployable. Jobless and without assets, they've walked out on mortgages, been foreclosed upon, or can no longer afford a fixed address. Fugitives who must keep moving to avoid arrest, they wander the globally warmed American wasteland searching for day labor and a place to park their battered SUVs for the night. Karl Taro Greenfeld's trenchant satire follows the fortunes of two families whose lives reflect this new dog-eat-dog, survival-of-the-financially-fittest America. Desperate for work and food, a Subprime family has been forced to migrate east, hoping for a better life. They are soon joined in their odyssey by a writer and his family-slightly better off, yet falling fast. Eventually, they discover a small settlement of Subprimes who have begun an agrarian utopia built on a foreclosed exurb. Soon, though, the little stability they have is threatened when their land is targeted by job creators for shale oil extraction. But all is not lost. A hero emerges, a woman on a motorcycle-suspiciously lacking a credit score-who just may save the world. In The Subprimes, Karl Taro Greenfeld turns his keen and unflinching eye to our country today-and where we may be headed. The result is a novel for the 99 percent: a darkly funny comedy about paradise lost and found, the value of credit, economic policy, and the meaning of family. A wickedly funny dystopian parody set in a financially apocalyptic future America, from the critically acclaimed author of Triburbia. In a future America that feels increasingly familiar, you are your credit score. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Dennis Wong (Map) and Wei Leng Tay (Photographer) (illustrator). xx, 442, [2] pages. Dramatis Personae. Notes on Sources and Further Reading. Index. Karl Taro Greenfeld (born 1964 in Kobe, Japan) is a journalist, novelist and television writer known primarily for his articles on life in modern Asia and both his fiction and non-fiction in The Paris Review. Born in Kobe, Japan, to a Japanese mother and an American father, the writers Fumiko Kometani and Josh Greenfeld, Greenfeld grew up in Los Angeles and went to college in New York City, graduating from Sarah Lawrence in 1987. He served as an Assistant Language Teacher on the JET Programme in Japan from 1988-89. A regular contributor to publications such as GQ, The Atlantic and Vogue, Greenfeld was the managing editor of Tokyo Journal before becoming the editor of Time Asia from 2002-2004 and editor-at-large at Sports Illustrated from 2004-2007. He was the Tokyo correspondent for The Nation. He is the author of three books about Asia: Speed Tribes: Days and Nights with Japan's Next Generation and Standard Deviations: Growing Up and Coming Down in the New Asia, and an account of the breakout of the SARS virus, China Syndrome: The True Story of the 21st Century's First Great Epidemic. His novel Triburbia is about a group of families living in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. His novel The Subprimes about a woman who may or may not be the messiah and the band of impoverished homeless Americans she comes to lead. He is a Henry Crown Fellow of the Aspen Institute and a Knight-Bagehott Fellow of Columbia University. Derived from a Kirkus review: Former Time Asia editor Greenfeld probes the SARS outbreak and the Chinese government's efforts to deny its existence. "Yoga instructors in Santa Monica and investment bankers in New York have no idea of the role that a few scientists, doctors, and public health officials in Hong Kong play in keeping them hale and hearty," writes Greenfeld. A horseracing track in Hong Kong marked the debut there of what became known as SARS-Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-and its management feared that this new disease would result in the deaths of at least a thousand thoroughbreds and the loss of millions of dollars. That management, and the doctors and epidemiologists called to the case, were right to worry that the disease might jump across species. Indeed, elsewhere in China, people were becoming sick, soon dying in droves. The race to discover the cause of SARS, which first appeared in the fall of 2002, makes a fascinating story, and Greenfeld recounts it vividly and coherently; yet, as he points out, much of that story of scientific detection and international teamwork remains little known simply because other world events-chiefly the U.S. invasion of Iraq-kept the story off the front page. The Chinese government refused to acknowledge the problem and that Chinese doctors discouraged Western disease specialists from offering aid; by the sixth month of the outbreak, which lasted slightly more than a year. Hundreds died by the time a cause and remedy were found. A taut scientific thriller, well told. Kirkus ended its review by writing "Suffice it to say that conditions are ripe for a replay of the disease; keep an eye out for a grim sequel." Few would challenge the assertion that COVID-19 is that grim sequel. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ' 'Mixing adventure & historical fact, Molinski takes the reader on a thrilling ride through the faraway and mysterious Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua. Like James Michener, he mixes well-researched history in a story that includes adventurers, missionaries, Indians, the richest of American society and down-on-their-luck denizens. An exhilarating debut!' -- Joan Kruckewitt, author of The Death of Ben Linder: The Story of a Northamerican in Sandinista Nicaragua and former ABC Radio correspondent in Nicaragua. 'Who knew that the Mosquito Coast played such a large role in the start of U.S. imperialism, industrialization, slavery and the Civil War What's frightening is that the same thing seems to be taking place today on a global scale.' -- Karl Taro Greenfeld, former Time magazine senior writer and author of Speed Tribes and Triburbia. In this explosive novel of Central America and the United States, acclaimed storyteller and foreign correspondent Michael Molinski takes readers on a journey back in time to the days of pre-Civil War United States, when the U.S. was just beginning to be recognized as a world power. Competing countries, religions and capitalists were fighting over who would dominate and control the Caribbean and Central America, and the people of the region were doing their best to control their own destiny. THE ROOTS OF IMPERIALISM It is 1851 and Nick Malone is faced with a life-changing decision: should he remain as a Wall Street trader and marry his socialite fiancé, or should he follow those who are seeking riches in the California Gold Rush. Or, should he choose a third option: an offer from wealthy American statesman Cornelius Vanderbilt to go to Nicaragua and open a new transoceanic transportation route and canal across Central America Follow Nick's decision as he sets off on a series of adventures that plots the course for the future of Central America but also of U.S. imperialism, global capitalism, Civil War and Manifest Destiny; and how his romance with a strong-willed Moravian missionary affected all of that. Miskito It is 1864, 13 years after Nick Malone first set foot in Nicaragua, and Anna Henkel is preparing a speech: 'This is the labor code of the United States of America,' she said, holding up a thick book for all to see, her voice raising as she did so and growing stronger. 'This is the labor code of the great country of England,' she said, raising an even thicker book in her other hand. She then picked up a blank piece of white writing paper. 'This,' she said, 'is the labor code of the Mosquito Coast? 'We are in the nineteenth century, yet we are living in the Dark Ages. Slavery is being abolished everywhere. The United States is fighting a war on the issue. And here on the Mosquito Coast we can't even give rights to white workers, let alone blacks and Indians. Mr. Malone is right. Business is going to pick up here once more foreigners like him realize the tremendous potential of our natural resources. Do we want to give them everything and get nothing in return Because that is exactly what they will do?and then they will leave, and we will be just as poor as when they got here.' '.
