About This Item
A collection of essays about the unique American condition. Although published 48 years ago, many of the essays are as topical today as they were then. For instance, this is the opening sentence of one very short essay: "One of the many extraordinary aspects of American life is the frequency with which people shoot people." And today, it is even worse. I no longer remember the title of the course I took that had me read this book, but many of the essays still occupy prominent places in my mind.
Book is well worn, with the cover color rubbed significantly and creases and folds at the corners. The inner pages are clean and clear, lacking notes, highlighting or underlining. Illustrated throughout, black and white.
