” One of the most important voices in contemporary American journalism.” (Independent).” Matt Taibbi is one of the few journalists in America who speaks truth to power.” (Bernie Sanders).” Matt Taibbi is the best polemic journalist in America.” (Felix Salmon).” The thing is, when you actually think about it, it`s not funny. Given what`s at stake, it`s more like the opposite, like the first sign of the collapse of the United States as a global superpower. Twenty years from now, when we`re all living like prehistory hominids & hunting rats with sticks, we`ll probably look back at this moment as the beginning of the end.” In this groundbreaking battery of dispatches from the heartland of America, Matt Taibbi tells the full story of the Trump phenomenon, from its tragi-comic beginnings to the apocalyptic election. Full of sharp, on-the-ground reporting & gallows humour, his incisive analysis goes beyond the bizarre & disturbing election to tell a wider story of the apparent collapse of American democracy. Taibbi saw the essential themes right from the start: the power of spectacle over truth; the end of a shared reality on the left & right; the nihilistic rebellion of the white working class; the death of the political establishment; & the emergence of a new, explicit form of white nationalism. From the thwarted Bernie Sanders insurgency to the aimless Hillary Clinton campaign, across the flailing media coverage & the trampled legacy of Obama, this is the story of ordinary voters forced to bear witness to the whole charade. At the centre of it all, ”A bumbling train wreck of a candidate who belched & preened his way past a historically weak field” who, improbably, has taken control of the world`s most powerful nation. This is essential & hilarious reading that explores how the new America understands itself, & about the future of the world just beyond the horizon. ...

Bill `EL Wingador` Simmons, Sonya ` The Black Widow` Thomas, David ` Coondog` O` Karma, Eric ` Badlands` Booker, & Timothy ` Eater X` Janus are just a few of the stars of one of America`s fastest growing sports: competitive eating. In a country in which a third of the population is clinically obese, competitive eating has made the leap from trestle tables & paper napkins to stadium arenas
- in the past two years, more than 1.4 million households have tuned in to Nathan`s hot dog contest on ESPN. Beginning with a trip to Japan in search of the elusive (and surprising slim-line) champion Takeru Kobayashi & ending up at the sport`s annual grand finale in Coney Isl&, Jason Fagone spends a year with the stars of the scene, watching as they eat their way into (or out of) oblivion, & finding out just what compels a `gurgitator` to force down forty-six dozen oysters in ten minutes. Wickedly funny & devastatingly insightful, Jason Fagone uses this weirdest of sports as a lens through which to examine the dark side of the American Dream
- the never-ending quest for wealth, celebrity, possessions & food. And along the way, he uncovers the wonderfully human stories at the heart of this seemingly unnourished corner of American culture. Bigger, better, richer, fatter, ” Insatiable” unlocks a world we all need to face up to.
