Recenzii

“Sarah Vowell is an intellectual melting pot. Her cleverness is gorgeously American…” ߝ Los Angeles Times

“Its scintillating cast includes dour missionaries, genital-worshiping heathens, Teddy Roosevelt, incestuous royalty, a nutty Mormon, a much-too-­merry monarch, President Obama, sugar barons, an imprisoned queen and Vowell herself, in a kind of 50th-state variety show. It’s a fun book…[a] playful, provocative, stand-up approach to history.”—The New York Times Book Review

“As entertaining and personable as it is informative.”—Washington Post

“Sarah Vowell is for my money, the best essayist/radio commentator/sit-down comic and pointy headed history geek in the business.”—Seattle Times

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
From the bestselling author of "The Wordy Shipmates" comes an examination of Hawaii, the place where Manifest Destiny got a sunburn. With her trademark smart-alecky insights and reporting, Vowell sets out to discover the emblematic and exceptional history of the 50th state, and in so doing finds America, warts and all.
