Episode 653: GEORGE PACKER-WHAT WILL BECOME OF AMERICAN CIVILIZATION? Phoenix AZ: Drought, Delusion, and Division
from Free Forum with Terrence McNally · host Terrence McNally
I’ve talked with journalist and best-selling author, GEORGE PACKER, about 2013’s National Book Award-winning The UNWINDING and 2021’s LAST BEST HOPE, in which he offers four narratives of America that motivate and divide us. Today our jumping off point will be his current cover story in The Atlantic on Phoenix, Arizona, WHAT WILL BECOME OF AMERICAN CIVILIZATION? Conspiracism and Hyper-partisanship in the Nation’s Fastest-growing City. More tour guide than pundit, George chooses the characters and makes the introductions, but the voices in this piece are those of the people of Phoenix. Packer, George - Edited Transcript - 7.11.24
