About the author:

She is the author of More or Less Dead and of the forthcoming Artists All Around, a memoir about her family’s relationship with Maurice Sendak, the acclaimed author of Where the Wild Things Are.

About the book:
Covering over a decade in the lives of Tyson workers across several plants in Arkansas, the explosive exposé Life and Death of the American Worker: The Immigrants Taking on America’s Largest Meatpacking Company is not just a story of corporate greed and exploitation and of how the American justice system has failed these workers, it is the remarkable and inspiring tale of the sacrifice and resilience of the immigrants who prepare our food.
