INTERESTING TIMES: ESSAYS AND NONFICTION

INTERESTING TIMES: ESSAYS AND NONFICTION

ONE NATION SUBJECT TO CHANGEAmerica at the turn of the twentieth century and just after is the focus of this collection of essays and nonfiction from a veteran journalist, essayist, critic and observer of American life and popular culture. Venturing from an insider's perspective of The New York Times to his interviews with black police officers, Michael E. Ross explores a nation evolving dramatically, maybe now more than any other time in its history. Exploring television, blues, jazz, hip hop, Al Gore, Ralph Nader, Andrew Sullivan, Jayson Blair, the California recall election's outcome, America's gun fixation, the nation's enduring racial disquiet, the use of language under "Bush II," and his own reckoning with maturity, the author offers a fresh, irreverent, provocative look at a country caught up in wrenching - and redefining - transition.
