Louis Menand
At each step in his latest journey through American culture history, Menand has an original point to make. Like The Metaphysical Club, American Studies (the second volume in a projected three-volume intellectual history of America) is game and detached, with a strong curiosity about the reasons ideas insinuate themselves into the culture at large. Menand explores the rise and fall of the TV network, the importance of Richard Wright, Pauline Kael, and Rolling Stone, and why we dropped the bomb. He lends an ear to Al Gore in the White House as the Starr Report is presented to the public. And he makes us look more closely at our world and ourselves.

The Audible label says the book is unabridged but it is not. Many chapters are not included. I wrote to Audible and they acknowledged that the book is indeed abridged. Two weeks have passed since I received their acknowledgement and they have not changed the labeling on the site so beware.
