Wry essays on the intersection of American history, current events and Sarah Vowell's personality. Highly recommended for people who value the details of the American journey. My favorite essay was "God Will Give You Blood to Drink in a Souvenir Shot Glass," which was funny and so provocative I read it three times. Two essays after that is an eye-opening essay about what Al Gore actually said to a Concord High School audience and how it was reported in the media. I read that one twice, then ordered another Sarah Vowell book.
