by Chuck Klosterman and Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Pollan and Bill Buford and Mark Bowden and David Foster Wallace and Susan Orlean and Lawrence Weschler and Jack Hitt and Dan Savage and James McManus and Ira Glass and Lee Sandlin and Coco Henson Scales
A collection of stories-some well known, some more obscure- capturing some of the best storytelling of this golden age of nonfiction. An anthology of the best new masters of nonfiction storytelling, personally chosen and introduced by Ira Glass, the producer and host of the award-winning public radio program This American Life. These pieces-on teenage white collar criminals, buying a cow, Saddam Hussein, drunken British soccer culture, and how we know everyone in our Rolodex-are meant to mesmerize and inspire.
