Red Lobster, White Trash, & the Blue Lagoon Joe Queenan's America

A riotously funny, razor-sharp indictment of Americas cultural wasteland by one of its most merciless critics. This wonderfully comic diatribe (Publishers Weekly) is Joe Queenans account of his year-long sojourn into North Americas pop-cultural Hot Zone, where he finds things are pretty much as bad as they seem (and as awful as he hoped). Joe Queenan descends on our cultural detritus like an angry cormorant. And I mean that in the best way. Ü Bill Maher, Host of Politically Incorrect
