Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning an unflinching spotlight on the American Dream, Indigo Moor plunges headfirst into national--and personal--laments and desires. From Emmett Till to the fall of the Twin Towers and through the wildfires of Paradise, California, Moor weaves a thread through the hopes, sacrifices, and Sisyphean yearnings that make this country the beautiful trap that it is. Everybody's Jonesin' for Something takes an imagistic leap through the darker side of our search for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, perusing what we lose, what we leave behind, and what strange beauty we uncover.
