Sinossi
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'.
