Bad Company, @greenwell.bsky.social's first book, looks at how private equity has gutted companies and industries, while feeding us a story of innovation and renewal. The bleak privatization of the American dream? You're already living with it. Megan will help you understand it.
Book cover with a cloudy sky and an abandoned Toys R Us building in an empty parking lot. It reads "Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream" Megan Greenwell

Excited that I picked up this cat comic What’s Michael? in time to lounge around with it over Thanksgiving when I might not be in the headspace for nonfiction
A photo of a page from What’s Michael, a black and white comic book. The first panel says “it’s an amusing trait of cats that whenever they make a mistake, they try to pretend they were really doing something else anyway” with a drawing of a cat landing on its feet. In a series of panels, the cat stalks a bird from behind a rock while the bird sings. In the final frame, the cat takes a step forward
