The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Presently the director of the MFA Program in Creative Writing at the University of Memphis, editor of an award-winning journal (The Pinch), Kristen Iversen has written a searing account of her hometown—a small Colorado town next to the infamous Rocky Flats nuclear-weapons plant, sometimes deemed 'the most contaminated site in America.' Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats (Crown) is a work of insight, eloquence, and urgency. "This terrifyingly brilliant book—as perfectly crafted and meticulously assembled as the nuclear bomb triggers that lie at its core—is a savage indictment of the American strategic weapons industry, haunting in its power yet wonderfully, charmingly human as a memoir of growing up in the Atomic Age." – Simon Winchester.
