He called D'Agata "one of the most significant U. S. Writers to emerge in the past few years." About a Mountain is a book-length rumination on the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. The New York Times Book Review called the book "a breathtaking piece of writing" and listed it among the 100 best nonfiction books ever written. " (from Wikipedia).

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. 208 pp. John D'Agata nos cuenta cómo, al ayudar a su madre a mudarse a Las Vegas (la ciudad con más suicidios de USA), descubre Yucca Mountain, el plan del gobierno de vaciar una montaña cercana y convertirla en el mayor vertedero radiactivo del mundo. Al mismo tiempo que se entrevista con los responsables del proyecto, investiga el suicidio de un adolescente, que se arroja desde el hotel-casino más alto de Las Vegas el mismo día en que se vota en el Congreso la aprobación de Yucca Mountain. D'Agata recorre todos los escenarios de la posible catástrofe, intentando comprender qué tienen en común el deseo suicida de la ciudad y el de ese chico desesperado.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. NOW A BROADWAY PLAY STARRING DANIEL RADCLIFFE 'Provocative, maddening and compulsively readable' Maggie Nelson In 2003, American essayist John D'Agata wrote a piece for Harper's about Las Vegas's alarmingly high suicide rate, after a sixteen-year-old boy had thrown himself from the top of the Stratosphere Tower. The article he delivered, 'What Happens There', was rejected by the magazine for inaccuracies. But it was soon picked up by another, who assigned it a fact checker: their fresh-faced intern, and recent Harvard graduate, Jim Fingal. What resulted from that assignment, and beyond the essay's eventual publication in the magazine, was seven years of arguments, negotiations, and revisions as D'Agata and Fingal struggled to navigate the boundaries of literary nonfiction. This book includes an early draft of D'Agata's essay, along with D'Agata and Fingal's extensive discussion around the text. The Lifespan of a Fact is a brilliant and eye-opening meditation on the relationship between 'truth' and 'accuracy', and a penetrating conversation about whether it is appropriate for a writer to substitute one for the other. 'A fascinating and dramatic power struggle over the intriguing question of what nonfiction should, or can, be' Lydia Davis. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
