Reseña del editor:
A regular American square, with a 'self-deprecating Charlie Brown sense of humour', Sarah Vowell never thought herself a sunshine patriot. She learnt existentialism from the Dallas Cowboys, counts Teddy Roosevelt and Bill Clinton among her personal icons and spends her days philosophizing on the erotic allure of Tom Cruise, or obsessing over the Civil War. But in post-9.11 America, with the TV 'full of unity' and a common enemy abroad, Vowell's 'ideal picture of citizenship (as) an argument, not a sing-along' proves a lonely creed. In this engrossing collection of essays, the new yorker scours America's past, and pop culture's closet, and in so doing investigates her own life as 'the partly cloudy patriot'.
Biografía del autor:

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the title piece of this collection of personal stories, Sarah Vowell addresses her ambivalent relationship to American history and citizenship. Elsewhere, she confronts a wide range of subjects, themes, icons and historical moments: Vietnam and Watergate; Canadian Mounties and German filmmakers; Starbucks and Buffy the Vampire Slayer; twins and nerds; the Gettysburg Address; and George W. Bush's inauguration. A book about politics, presidents, pop culture, patriotism and pretty much everything else that matters in the world today, "The Partly Cloudy Patriot" is a refreshing, thought-provoking guide to the crazy heart of America. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR002810931
