Additional information
by Sarah Vowell (Author)
There are approximately 502 million radios in America. For this savvy, far-reaching diary, celebrated journalist and author Sarah Vowell turned hers on and listened--closely, critically, creatively--for an entire year.
As a series of impressions and reflections regarding contemporary American culture, and as an extended meditation on both our media and our society, this keenly focused book is as insightful as it is refreshing. Throughout Radio On, Vowell's touch is about as delicate as Teddy Kennedy's after a pitcher of martinis (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times).Author Biography
Called a national treasure by David Sedaris, Sarah Vowell has been a contributing editor to public radio's This American Life since 1996. She is also the author of the bestsellers Take the Cannoli and The Partly Cloudy Patriot.
