Description: Twilight in Hazard : An Appalachian Reckoning; Library Edition, CD/Spoken Word by Maimon, Alan; Heller, Johnny (NRT), ISBN 9798212110808, ISBN-13 9798212110808, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US When Alan Maimon got the assignment in 2000 to report on life in rural Eastern Kentucky, his editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal told him to cover the region "like a foreign correspondent would." And indeed, when Maimon arrived in Hazard, Kentucky, fresh off a reporting stint for the New York Timess Berlin bureau, he felt every bit the outsider. He had landed in a place in the vice grip of ecological devastation and a corporate-made opioid epidemica place where vote-buying and drug-motivated political assassinations were the order of the day. While reporting on the intense religious allegiances, the bitter, bareknuckled political rivalries, and the faltering attempts to emerge from a century-long coal-based economy, Maimon learns that everythingand nothingyou have heard about the region is true. And far from being a foreign place, it is a region whose generations-long struggles are driven by quintessentially American forces. Resisting the easy cliches, Maimons Twilight in Hazard gives us a profound understanding of the region from his years of careful reporting.
