Bøger af Matt Bindig

In the summer of 2019, while staring down a deadening depression, Matt Bindig packed up his family for a three-week road trip out West - circling through six national parks - searching for the truth behind Bill Clinton's words, "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America." After twenty-one days and 3,700 miles, he returned to his mind-numbingly normal suburban life with a collection of classic family photos and a journal full of scribbled notes. Six months later, COVID arrived and the world changed forever. Far From The Twisted Reach is built around the story of that trip, but it's more than just a travelogue. It's also a reflection on humanity's relationship with nature, our carcinogenic compulsion to consume, and the effort it takes to sustain a long, loving marriage. Riding shotgun along the way are passages on the pain of aging, an increasingly fruitless search for spirituality, and the challenges that come with being a dad in a country on the brink. Mostly though, it's a book about hope - lost and found

When Grady Pickett hears that the lost paintings of Ward Gregory have been rediscovered, he decides to abandon his long time girlfriend and the life he has made for himself in Massachusetts and return home to Apollo, New York, certain that if he unravels the central mystery of his childhood he will be able to make sense of his greatest loss. In the tailspin of events that follow, Grady must choose between two lives laid out before him. Will he reclaim himself and the past he once called his own from the grips of his brother Emile's elaborate distortions or will he submit to the temptations of vengeance and forever lose all he once was? In NOTHING HERE IS REAL Matt Bindig explores the power of family myths and the costs that come with striking out on your own.
