ISBN (paperback): 9781932870220 About the Book Derek Green’s New World Order is a sharp, stirring collection about Americans abroad, full of the eerie loneliness and hidden menace that comes with global travel in the age of terror. These vivid stories about greed, fear, and the thirst for adventure are also haunting, suspenseful dispatches from the front lines and back alleys of America’s corporate-military alliance. –Dean Bakopoulos Delve into any of these eleven highly entertaining tales and you’ll know what it is to be grabbed by the lapels and told a story. Derek Green’s characters are not men and women with quiet lives and vague careers. Rather, they are vividly portrayed operating in the deep recesses of the global economy–a journalist seeking a story in the Australian outback, a guy trying to sell Harleys in Baghdad–with surprising and harrowing results. New World Order is the real news, the kind you can’t find in the paper. Don’t miss it. –Scott Lasser About the Author Derek Green has spent more than a decade as a professional journalist, as well as a contract consultant for several multinational corporations. His work has taken him to twenty-two countries on six continents. Green was educated at the University of Michigan, where he was a three-time winner of the prestigious Avery and Jule Hopwood Award in creative writing. His fiction and nonfiction have appeared in national magazines and literary journals, and he has taught creative writing and journalism at the university level. The son of an Irish father and Puerto Rican mother, Green is a fluent speaker of Spanish. He lives in Michigan with his wife and son and is currently at work on a novel. New World Order is his first book. |
