520    "In Tales of Two Americas, some of the literary world's 
       most exciting writers look beyond numbers and wages to 
       convey what it feels like to live in this divided nation. 
       Their extraordinarily powerful stories, essays, and poems 
       demonstrate how boundaries break down when experiences are
       shared, and that in sharing our stories we can help to 
       alleviate a suffering that touches so many people."--Page 
       4 of cover. 
520    America is broken. You don't need a fistful of statistics 
       to know this. Visit any city, and evidence of our 
       shattered social compact will present itself. From 
       Appalachia to the Rust Belt and down to rural Texas, the 
       gap between the wealthiest and the poorest stretches to 
       unimaginable chasms. Whether the cause of this inequality 
       is systemic injustice, the entrenchment of racism in our 
       culture, the long war on drugs, or immigration policies, 
       it endangers not only the American Dream but our very 
       lives.  In Tales of Two Americas, some of the literary 
       world's most exciting writers look beyond numbers and 
       wages to convey what it feels like to live in this divided
       nation. Their extraordinarily powerful stories, essays, 
       and poems demonstrate how boundaries break down when 
       experiences are shared, and that in sharing our stories we
       can help to alleviate a suffering that touches so many 
       people.
