American Rust - (Random House Reader's Circle) by Philipp Meyer (Paperback)

American Rust is a powerful and gripping novel that explores the lost American Dream and the desperation, friendship, loyalty, and love that arise from its loss in a beautiful but economically devastated Pennsylvania steel town.

The book follows two young men, Isaac English and Billy Poe, who long for an escape from their hometown but are caught up in a terrible act of violence that changes their lives forever.

With echoes of John Steinbeck's novels of restless lives during the Great Depression, American Rust takes us into the contemporary American heartland at a moment of profound unrest and uncertainty about the future.

This is a moving novel about the bleak realities that battle our desire for transcendence and the power of love and friendship to redeem us.
