The History of the Future | Edward McPherson

1 post | 1 read | 4 to read

What does it mean to think about Dallas in relationship to Dallas? In The History of the Future, McPherson reexamines American places and the space between history, experience, and myth. Private streets, racism, and the St. Louis World’s Fair; fracking for oil and digging for dinosaurs in North Dakota boomtowns—Americana slides into apocalypse in these essays, revealing us to ourselves.

The History of the Future | Edward McPherson

pick

'American essays' is indeed how I would describe this collection. McPherson writes about Americana: from finding things in his old house in Gettysburg to oil boom in North Dakota to Trinity test in 1945. Not entirely uplifting but smart and personal. #essays #history #americana #travel #memoir #environment #cities #usa @coffeehousepress
