Fiction
The Wordy Shipmates
A Riverhead paperback in which Sarah Vowell travels through Puritan New England with her usual mixture of sarcasm and archival curiosity. She is interested in the Massachusetts Bay colonists as writers and arguers as much as settlers, and she refuses either to sentimentalize or to sneer at them. The book is a compact trade paperback with the clean Riverhead design and the short chapters that make it easy to read in bursts. Riverhead marketed it as history for readers who do not normally read history. Ideal reader: the American history reader who wants their Calvinism with jokes, or the New Englander who secretly enjoys Thanksgiving anxiety.
