2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
THE LONG BLINK is a narrative nonfiction book by Emmy Award-winning journalist, Brian Kuebler, who exposes the staggering cost of the American trucking industry's rising crash rate through the intimate struggle of Ed Slattery, who is left to piece his family back together after a trucker fell asleep at the wheel and killed his wife and maimed his son. From the historic, public settlement with the trucking company and a bizarre confrontation with its driver to one father's ongoing and, more recently, frustrating fight on Capitol Hill for safer roads, the Slattery's story is a revealing, emotional look at the rapidly growing danger we all face from the passing lane each and every day.

My nonfiction bracket is where the fiercest action is happening this year, for sure! It was a contest between several great picks this month, but the tagged book came out on top. But can anything stop the juggernaut that is John Steinbeck? “Travels with Charley“ triumphs —and moves into the quarterfinals!

A small book that packs a powerful punch. Ed Slattery‘s life was changed forever in 2010 when a long-haul trucker fell asleep and plowed into the family‘s car, killing his wife and severely injuring his son. Since then Ed has become a fierce advocate who pushes to expose the staggering and scary cost of the American trucking industry's rising crash rate. Each year 4,000+ Americans are killed—“a 9/11 every year,” as he points out.
