In the book’s second section, Piazza turns his attention to literature, politics, and post-Katrina America in articles and essays on subjects ranging from Charlie Chan movies to the life and work of Norman Mailer, from the New Orleans housing crisis to the BP oil spill, from Jelly Roll Morton’s Library of Congress recordings to the future of books. The third and final section delivers a startlingly original meditation on fiction, sentimentality, and cynicism—a major new essay from this brilliant, unpredictable, and absolutely necessary writer. *546 $aEngelsk tekst *599 $a250 kr *650 4$aFolkemusikk$_10022100 *650 4$aLitteratur$_10002800 *650 4$aPolitikk$_10095300 *651 4$aUSA$_10088200 ^
