Thirty-six major contemporary writers examine life in a deeply divided America--including Anthony Doerr, Ann Patchett, Roxane Gay, Rebecca Solnit, Hector Tobar, Joyce Carol Oates, Edwidge Danticat, Richard Russo, Eula Bliss, Karen Russell, and many moreAmerica is broken. You don't need a fistful of statistics to know this. Visit any city, and evidence of our shattered social compact will present itself. From Appalachia to the Rust Belt and down to rural Texas, the gap between the wealthiest and the poorest stretches to unimaginable chasms. Whether the cause of this inequality is systemic injustice, the entrenchment of racism in our culture, the long war on drugs, or immigration policies, it endangers not only the American Dream but our very lives. In Tales of Two Americas, some of the literary world's most exciting writers look beyond numbers and wages to convey what it feels like to live in this divided nation. Their extraordinarily powerful stories, essays, and poems demonstrate how boundaries break down when experiences are shared, and that in sharing our stories we can help to alleviate a suffering that touches so many people.

Sturdy & worth it
These plates are super sturdy and reliable! I’ve used them for parties and everyday meals, and they hold up really well—even with heavier or messy food.
They don’t get soggy or bend easily, which is a huge plus. Makes cleanup so much easier without worrying about spills.
Definitely a go-to for gatherings or busy days!

perfect size
purchased for entertaining when I need convenience and quantity. good for larger gatherings- they look good, hold a lot of food without leaking. Strong enough to carry loaded with food without sagging, thick enough to cut meat and not cut through the plate. Can warm up food in microwave and not worry. After the party just toss in the garbage for easy clean up. I will continue to buy these plates.

Nice Platters for family Thanksgiving take out
The family used these to take some Thanksgiving food home. These paper platters are sturdy and hold food without bending or leaking. I like the size because it works well for bigger meals or when I don’t feel like washing dishes. They make serving and cleanup quick and simple.

Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas
These platters are sturdy and just the right size if you’re having a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and don’t want to deal with a bunch of dishes. My family use them for the first time this year and we were absolutely delighted. The platters are sturdy, high-quality, significantly larger than the 10 inch paper plates and hold a large amount of food which is essential when you’re serving a large meal.

Perfect for every occasion. Absolutely love this brand.
We always buy disposable tableware from Dixie, and these platters are another great product from the brand. The size is perfect for barbecue food, burgers, ribs, sides, everything fits easily. They’re sturdy, don’t bend or leak, and hold up well even with heavier food. We host BBQs often and these make serving and cleanup super easy. Reliable quality and definitely worth buying again.
