Fiction
The Partly Cloudy Patriot
A Simon & Schuster collection of Sarah Vowell's essays on American history, pop culture, and her own ambivalent patriotism. She moves from Gettysburg to Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the assumption that both deserve the same level of attention. The design is straightforward, the tone is conversational, and the footnotes are numerous. The Simon & Schuster paperback is the standard trade size, with a cover that looks like a friendly argument. Simon & Schuster packaged it as a patriotic gift book for the skeptical left. Ideal reader: the citizen who feels patriotic and skeptical at the same time, or the essayist who wishes they could make a digression feel like a thesis.
