Mr. Straight Arrow
Author: Jeremy Treglown
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374280266
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A monumental reevaluation of the career of John Hersey, the author of Hiroshima Few are the books with as immediate an impact and as enduring a legacy as John Hersey’s Hiroshima. First published as an entire issue of The New Yorker in 1946, it was serialized in newspapers the world over and has never gone out of print. By conveying plainly the experiences of six survivors of the 1945 atomic bombing and its aftermath, Hersey brought to light the magnitude of nuclear war. And in his adoption of novelistic techniques, he prefigured the conventions of New Journalism. But how did Hersey—who was not Japanese, not an eyewitness, not a scientist—come to be the first person to communicate the experience to a global audience? In Mr. Straight Arrow, Jeremy Treglown answers that question and shows that Hiroshima was not an aberration but was emblematic of the author’s lifework. By the time of Hiroshima’s publication, Hersey was already a famed war writer and had won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. He continued to publish journalism of immediate and pressing moral concern; his reporting from the Freedom Summer and his exposés of the Detroit riots resonate all too loudly today. But his obsessive doubts over the value of his work never ceased. Mr. Straight Arrow is an intimate, exacting study of the achievements and contradictions of Hersey’s career, which reveals the powers of a writer tirelessly committed to truth and social change.

Book Description
Spencer Frost is one broken and angry eighteen-year-old. He’s found himself on the ground after life delivered a sudden, unavoidable punch to his face, and he hasn’t been able to get back up. He doesn’t like that one damn bit, but what he likes even less are other people’s attempts to reach him. He doesn’t want their attention and he doesn’t need their help—or even deserve it. At least, that’s what he thinks before he meets Emerson King. She’s gentle where he’s abrasive. Calm where he’s tempestuous. Bright where he’s dark. And he’ll find she needs him just as much as he needs her because, although no one has taken the time to notice, life has been cruel to her, too. In this true-to-life and hope-inspiring new adult romance, Spencer and Emerson will learn that love is at its greatest when it finds you at your worst. **This story deals with sensitive themes, including suicide and abuse, and contains mature content.**
