Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A collection of essays by the Village Voice writer and poet focuses on politics, culture, and religion, offering a humorous meditation guide to New York City monuments as well as insights into the challenge of Bob Dole for the 1996 presidential nomination. Original.

Reseña del editor:

America: A Prophecy is the long awaited collection from the writer Robert Christgau called, "one of the funniest men in Manhattan." From a hilarious spiritual guide to New York City--written after Sparrow tried meditating at a dozen high-traffic landmarks--to the scientific and religious significance of the sky, Sparrow's unique blend of wit and wisdom gives readers a whole new way of seeing our country at the crossroads. The author of Republican Like Me, Sparrow challenged Bob Dole for the presidential nomination in 1996 and, remarkably, lost. America: A Prophecy is his follow up, a fantastical look at a country in flux by a mischievous poet and iconoclastic comedian.
