Better Class of People, Paperback by Lopez, Robert, ISBN 1950539423, ISBN-13 9781950539420, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US<b>A brilliant novel-in-stories from award-winning author Robert Lopez</b><br>In an uncanny, distorted version of New York City, a man rides the subway through the chaos of an ordinary commute. He may have a gun in his pocket. He may be looking for someone—a woman named Esperanza.<p>Between stops, we shuttle back and forth through time and see a man who stands in traffic, the same man seizing and shuddering on a sidewalk, an institution where the man is housed with other undesirables (or troublemakers?), a neighborhood where all the residents have forgotten their names. Over everything looms the specter of a nameless menace, a pervasive sense that something—more than just a ride—is coming to an end. <p>With Robert Lopez’s signature innovation, <i>A Better Class of People</i> delivers a network of stories interconnected and careening like subway tunnels through the realities of modern America: immigration, gun violence, police brutality, sexual harassment, climate change, and the point of fracture at which we find ourselves, where reality and perception are indistinguishable.</p></p>
