TWILIGHT IN HAZARD
An Appalachian Reckoning
From Pulitzer Prize finalist and investigative reporter Alan Maimon comes TWILIGHT IN HAZARD (June 2021), the troubling account of how a perfect storm of events made a devastating impact on the residents in small Appalachian towns— a case of severe and accelerating rural distress that, over the past twenty years, has expanded to send tremors through the rest of America.
“An empathetic portrait of Eastern Kentucky... Contending that Americans must
‘combat the notion that people and places are irredeemable’...
Maimon’s sharp observations and personal stake in the subject make this
a standout account of what ails rural America.”
