Irons in the Fire | John McPhee
post image
Pickpick

John McPhee‘s Irons in the Fire is a masterclass in literary journalism. With his signature precision and curiosity, McPhee uncovers unexpected depth in overlooked corners of American life, from a Nevada brand inspector navigating modern cattle rustling, to FBI geologists solving crimes with grains of sand.

Essays span topics like forensic geology, WWII balloon bombs, parole hearings, tire fires, untouched forests, and even exotic car auctions.
