| | | | | All That Is Solid Melts into Air | | Darragh McKeon | |  | | The Chernobyl disaster and its aftermath form the radioactive heart of Darragh McKeon’s bold and expansive debut novel. We witness the governmental response — alternatingly callous and incompetent — as well as singular acts of resistance or humanity, suffusing a national tragedy with a strange kind of grace. In any novel with so ambitious a scope, the struggle is always in creating a panoramic view of history without completely sweeping aside the characters that are our entry into that history. On this score, McKeon acquits himself like a seasoned hand, finding those precious details and moments where the intimate and the historical intertwine. |  | | Scribd Editor | | | | | More Summer Reading Essentials | | | | Enjoy unlimited access to more than one million titles, all with a Scribd membership. | | | | | |
