Reviews
"Across the broad spectrum of American writers, there's simply no one else quite like Gary Sernovitz, at once a brilliant novelist, hilarious cultural critic, energy-industry insider, and self-described 'liberal oilman.' (Imagine Saul Bellow's giant ecstatic heart transplanted into T. Boone Pickens, and you're getting warm.) This has to be one of the most searching, literate, and funniest books about American energy ever written, and it will usefully complicate even one's most zealous certainties about fossil fuels." --Tom Bissell "As a novelist-turned-oilman, Gary Sernovitz is uniquely equipped to introduce the general reader to the complexities of the oil industry. Erudite, conversational, and brimming with vivid descriptions and helpful analogies, The Green and the Black informs and expands the contemporary debate around fracking and fossil fuels." --Kate Bolick "[ The Green and the Black ] provides a comprehensive, balanced view of the far-reaching impact of the U.S. shale revolution." - Mark Papa, Former Chariman and CEO, EOG Resources "Gary Sernovitz has written a mini-masterpiece about an American-born technology that has the continuing potential to revolutionize the world of energy economics and bring about social and political challenges and opportunities for many decades. His style is intelligent, balanced with regard to highlighting competing views of each major topic, and technically and economically illuminating. Everyone in America should read Chapter 11. If you don't necessarily agree with every claim the author makes, you will nonetheless find the book incredibly informative, well-researched, and witty." - Jim Hackett, Former Chairman and CEO, Anadarko Petroleum "Gary Sernovitz is a unique figure in American letters. A talented novelist (his The Contrarians should be read alongside Liar's Poker as an introduction to the world of the American investment bank), he is also a private equity investor, specializing in the oil sector. He is, finally, a person of conscience. His account here of the shale revolution of the past decade is funny, informed, and unsparing. You may not share his affection for natural gas, or accept his case for fracking, but if you are opposed to these technologies - and you should be - it's important to understand the other side." - Keith Gessen, "Sernovitz, who writes with flair, humor, and assurance, includes some recent history of the industry, some big personalities, a little technology and geology, arguments of environmentalists (the "Green" of the title) and of oilmen ("Black"), and a wealth of statistics....An insider's cheerful, energetic examination of an industry that has changed dramatically in the last decade." - Kirkus "Sernovitz's deep insider's knowledge and scintillating prose make this one of the best treatments of this very contentious subject" - Publishers Weekly "Across the broad spectrum of American writers, there's simply no one else quite like Gary Sernovitz, at once a brilliant novelist, hilarious cultural critic, energy-industry insider, and self-described 'liberal oilman.'
