About the Author:
Greg Marnier, Marney to his friends, has a story to tell about leaving a job he didn’t much like and what happened to him when he moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 2011, where an old friend had a big idea about real estate and the revitalization of a once great American city. It’s a story that involves a fistfight between two friends, an act of vigilante justice, a racially charged trial, a love affair with a colleague, a game of three-on-three basketball with the president of the United States, and the money-soaked real estate project itself.
Cut out of six hundred acres of emaciated Detroit, the development is described by Marney’s billionaire buddy from Yale, Robert James, the plan’s creator, as the “Groupon model for gentrification.” Everyone else calls it “New Jamestown.” Marney used to live there before Robert himself asked him to leave. This is the story of what went wrong.Benjamin Markovits grew up in Texas, London and Berlin. He is the author of six previous novels: The Syme Papers, Either Side of Winter, Imposture, A Quiet Adjustment, Playing Days and Childish Loves. He has published essays, stories, poetry and reviews on subjects ranging from the Romantics to American sports in the Guardian, Granta, The Paris Review and The New York Times, among other publications. He lives in London and teaches creative writing at Royal Holloway, University of London.
