Blindside by Eamonn Fingleton

Winner of the 2016 Press 53 Award for Short Fiction, Jimtown Road, by Dennis MCFadden, takes readers on a years-long journey through the small Pennsylvania town of Hartsgrove by way of linked stories that offer an unblinking look, illuminated with burning intensity by the ever-present moon, at the darkest parts of the human heart (Ray Morrison), and reads like a page-turning mystery thriller (Donald Ray Pollack). These stories, these characters, this town, according to Patricia McNair, will inhabit you] like an ache, like an exquisite yearning.

Fingleton, Eamonn: - Eamonn Fingleton, a prescient former editor for Forbes and the Financial Times, has been monitoring East Asian economics since he met supreme leader Deng Xiaoping in 1986 as a member of a top U.S. financial delegation. The following year he predicted the Tokyo banking crash and went on in Blindside, a controversial 1995 analysis that was praised by J. K. Galbraith and Bill Clinton, to show that a heedless America was fast losing its formerly vaunted dominance in advanced manufacturing to Japan. His book In Praise of Hard Industries: Why Manufacturing, Not the Information Economy, Is the Key to Future Prosperity brilliantly anticipated the Internet stock crash of 2000. His books have been read into the U.S. Senate record and named among the ten best business books of the year by Business Week and Amazon.com.
