Review Quotes:
"Chris Lockhart's American Alt is a mesmerizing, compassionate, and deeply meaningful exploration of a perilous corridor of American life. By recounting the story of a friend whose mental illness brought him to the brink of conspiracy-fueled violence, Lockhart discovers hidden truths in his own story-and in the way many of us live now." --Robert Kolker, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller HIDDEN VALLEY ROAD
"A triumph of character and place, American Alt goes where few books dare: deep into the fractured psyche of the American west. It's a bold, unflinching study of individual, collective, and environmental trauma written with the page-turning lucidity of a thriller." --Maxim Loskutoff, author of OLD KING and COME WEST AND SEE
