Paul Ingrassia today serves as the deputy editor-in-chief of Reuters, but his career as a journalist has been buoyed by his coverage of the automotive industry ? coverage that netted him a Pulitzer Prize in 1993. In his latest book, which he will discuss at this weekend?s Automotive Authors Book Fair in Dearborn, Michigan, Ingrassia returns to the automotive world, this time with a broad view of automotive history.
In Engines of Change: A History of the American Dream in Fifteen Cars, Ingrassia discusses not necessarily the most iconic cars in automotive history, but those that he believes had the biggest impact on American society through the twentieth and into the twenty-first centuries, including the Ford Model T, the Chevrolet Corvair, and the Toyota Prius. As the New York Times wrote, ?the cars [Ingrassia] has chosen illustrate the yin-and-yang tug of war in modern American culture between the practical and the pretentious: ?the frugal versus the flamboyant, haute cuisine versus hot wings, uptown versus downtown, big-is-better versus small-is-beautiful, and Saturday night versus Sunday morning.??
Ingrassia will join 19 other authors ? including David Rockwell and his book We Were the Ramchargers: Inside Drag Racing?s Legendary Team; John Jacobus and his book Inside the Fisher Body Craftsman?s Guild: Contestants Recall the Famous General Motors Talent Search; and Joseph Cabadas and his book??40 Ford: Evolution-Design-Racing-Hot Rodding ? in presenting their latest books at the fair. In addition, filmmakers Sam Smartt and Chris Zaluski will screen their station wagon documentary?Wagonmasters at the fair.
The Automotive Authors Book Fair will take place Friday and Saturday, November 16-17, at the Automotive Hall of Fame. For more information, visit AutomotiveHallofFame.org.
