“A Table for Fortune,” is a thoroughly researched, definitive history of American post-war foreign policy with a deft, moving chronicle of a family's descent into resentment and gloom.
One of the most ambitious and prolific writers of his generation, Vollmann is known for combining immersive reporting with sweeping explorations of history, morality and human experience. He is the author of more than two dozen books of fiction and nonfiction including the National Book Award-winning "Europe Central,” the environmental treatise “Carbon Ideologies,” and “Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence, Freedom and Urgent Means.”
