If I Am Coming to Your Town, Something Terrible Has Happened offers one journalist's version of the truth about how we ended up here and how nasty, sad, and disturbing it really is. This is the real, unvarnished history whose first draft was written in the same chaotic and roughshod way that it always has been--by some weary reporter just trying to figure shit out.
But this isn't just a story about Justin Glawe and his experiences as a domestic war correspondent. It's about how the things we love--or thought we loved--can break us. From long-forgotten deaths in his Midwestern hometown and far northern Minnesota, through the ravages of endless police killings, to the border and its desperate migrants, in small towns torn apart by spree killings, at the Vegas massacre, the Dallas massacre, Ferguson, and through the stories of corrupt politicians and dirty cops as reported from dive bars, cheap motels, and truck stops across the nation, readers of If I Am Coming to Your Town, Something Terrible Has Happened will see through visceral writing what most people never see: the seams of an entire country tearing apart in front of their very eyes. But just because something breaks you doesn't mean you have to stay broken. Things may be falling apart all around us, but we don't always have to bring it home. You can leave your gas mask--and your Jameson--at the door and be human again.Author: Justin Glawe
