The Economist
Spuyten Duyvil Publishing
Following Public Works (2005) and The Pornographers (2012), Grimes’ The Economist continues the austere prairie beauty in the retreat and despair of Christopher Grimes’s (fictional) Freyman, North Dakota, probing the ways economies and public policies intersect with individual lives and personal conflicts. To bring pathos to an emerging “deplorable” takes this novel far beyond social commentary and well into art.
