From Jesse Thorn’s great podcast/public radio show “The Sound of Young America”:
“Sarah Vowell is an author who writes about history from her own perspective, which includes not just the facts but her own running commentary on the people and events that make up our history, and is sprinkled with anecdotes of her own experiences while exploring the subject.
Unfamiliar Fishes follows the history of Western intervention in Hawaii up until the annexation of the state, and is out now.”
