Review
"Bowden's range is broad . . . With heartbreaking detail, [these pieces] reveal his most effective reporting tool: empathy."--Entertainment Weekly
"[Bowden] excels at sharply drawn, painstakingly reported stories about oddballs, losers and con men . . . fashioning prose that reads like good fiction, with the bonus that his stories are true . . . Bowden is that rare reporter whose writing works as well on a small canvas as it does on the big screen."--New York Times Book Review "Astute character reading and solid research combine with ingenious and stylish prose: a superior portfolio from a journalist who stays at the top of his game with remarkable consistency."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[Bowden] delivers fascinating, and sometimes outsized, slices of life."--Publishers Weekly "A great sample of a politically mainstream but adventurous writer."--Library Journal "Whether the topic is preserving the black rhino in Africa or a traditional high school football rivalry, Bowden is at the top of his form at drawing the reader into the narrative."--Rocky Mountain NewsAbout the Author
Mark Bowden is a national correspondent for The Atlantic.
