For more than two decades, Andrew O’Hagan has been publishing celebrated essays on both sides of the Atlantic. The Atlantic Oceanhighlights the best of his clear-eyed, brilliant work, including hisfirst published essay, a reminiscence of his working-class Scottishupbringing; an extraordinary piece about the lives of two soldiers, oneEnglish, one American, both of whom died in Iraq on May 2, 2005; and apiercing examination of the life of William Styron. O’Hagan’s subjectsrange from the rise of the tabloids to the aftermath of HurricaneKatrina, from the trajectory of the Beatles to the impossibility of notfancying Marilyn Monroe.
The Atlantic Ocean — an engrossing and important collection.
