After twenty-three years together, and after surviving the two years of civil war in the 2030s, Natalie in rural Tennessee (part of the new Free American Republic) and Asher in San Francisco (in the now smaller United States).Natalie and Asher’s relationship mirrors America’s own unraveling—confused, messy, painful, ambivalent, and impossibly intimate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Natalie and Asher are brought back into proximity while touring far-flung colleges with their seventeen-year-old, they find themselves on a road trip through a strange, uncertain new American landscape, transformed by both the terrorist uprising and technology, all while dealing with the flux—and resilience—within their own family. They face the questions the nation has reckoned with for a generation: what differences are irreconcilable, and when is something broken worth saving?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRazor-sharp, ambitious, ranging from tragic to comic and brimming with imagination, \u003ci\u003eThe Breakup\u003c\/i\u003e is a sweeping story where the personal and sociopolitical intersect in ways bracingly plausible, keenly insightful, and surprisingly hopeful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKurt Andersen\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the recent \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestsellers \u003ci\u003eEvil Geniuses\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFantasyland,\u003c\/i\u003e as well as several bestselling novels, including \u003ci\u003eYou Can’t Spell America Without Me, Heyday,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTurn of the Century\u003c\/i\u003e.
