Philipp Meyer, author of American Rust

Author Philipp Meyer presents his dramatic debut novel, American Rust—a moving tale of friends in a fading Pennsylvania steel town and the murder that forces them to question their assumptions about each other and those around them. Told from six very different perspectives and unfolding at a relentless pace, Meyer’s vision of lives in flux is propelled by a keen insight into human pathos. Before the last act is staged, loyalties will be tested as old paradigms shift and a new reality takes hold.
