Here's a relevant heads up:<BR/><BR/>Evan Wright, author of Generation Kill, is publishing a new book next month about his experiences with different subcultures in America. Here's one description of the new book:<BR/><BR/>“From his work as a reporter at Hustler magazine, to his National Magazine Award–winning writing for Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, Evan Wright has always had an affinity for outsiders—what he calls “the lost tribes of America.” The previously published pieces in this collection chart a deeply personal journey, beginning with his stark but sympathetic portrayals of sex workers in Porn Valley, through his raw portrait of a Hollywood überagent-turned-war documentarian and hero of America’s far right. Along the way, Wright encounters runaway teens earning corporate dollars as skateboard pitchmen; radical anarchists plotting the overthrow of corporate America; and young American troops on the hunt for terrorists in the combat zones of the Middle East. His subjects are people for whom the American dream is either just out of grasp, or something they’ve chosen to reject altogether. Sometimes frightening, usually profane, and often darkly comic, Hella Nation is Evan Wright’s meticulously observed tour of the jagged edges of all those other Americas hiding in plain sight amid the nation’s malls and gated communities. The collection also includes an all-new, autobiographical introductory essay by the author.”Matthew Goldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082435274751966397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783880567496046926.post-59342442140836010412008-12-20T13:53:00.000-08:002008-12-20T13:53:00.000-08:00Okay...I should be wrapping, packing, and doing a ...Okay...I should be wrapping, packing, and doing a whole lot of other things right now, BUT I couldn't resist and just had to pop by to say HOLA to you gals!! : D I'll stop back again to comment about your post, but I did have one astute observation to share(unrelated of course to your post!)

Perhaps we could trade that for Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I believe you were the one the other day who said it was a book you were wanting to read? As long as my reading note marks don't bother you, I would love to trade books!Mitch Eilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243792069264427476noreply@blogger.com
