As the United States faces intense attention from around the world, Russell Banks turns to the large questions of where the country came from, what it claims to value, whom it venerates, and where its deepest tensions lie. These essays move easily between current affairs, novels, movies, and the record of the nation's past. Banks brings a personal and warm tone to his arguments, asking readers to examine the stories they tell about themselves. The collection is a reflective look at the American character and its contradictions.
