It's Summer 2020 and the Covid-19 Pandemic is raging. New York City has been locked down for months. 12 diverse Americans, lonely and single, are selected via a dating app competition by billionaire Olive Mixer to stay at his ornate Hamptons mansion complex for 12 nights.

During the day, the guests meet, compete, date, dine, flirt and fight. Each night, one must tell the group a story.

Their tales range widely in subject, style, length and decorum. Many stories respond to each other. They trigger passionate debate and fiery resistance. They change how characters perceive each other and affect the trajectory of the frame narrative.

In BAD AMERICANS: PART I, you'll hear from: Andrea Mendoza, a front line nurse; Taylor Williams, a conservative former Army Lieutenant; Cathy Wei Quan, an idealistic social work student; Ricard Shaw, a QAnon-influenced biker; Rashan Hall, an elementary school teacher; and Nalini Shah, a privileged lawyer.

In BAD AMERICANS: PART II, you'll hear from: Hayley Clark, a beautiful model; Pritesh Lakshmi, a neurotic engineer; Lisa Applebaum, a liberal blogger; Khassan Murdashev, an Uber driver and part-time comic; Sylvania, a seamstress and former fashion icon; and Angela Diaz, a hair salon operator.

BAD AMERICANS PARTS I & II are the next volumes in the anthology series THE HUMAN TRAGEDY. Kirkus Reviews said the first volume, GOOD AMERICANS, "speaks volumes about the human condition and modern life in America."
