I Love This American Way of Life
I Love This American Way of Life | Brett Evans
1 post | 1 read
Poetry. "With deliciously suggestive illustrations and daring pop-ups, pull-tabs and action mechanics, I LOVE THIS AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE is guaranteed to rustle your bustle, pop your cork, and fog over your monocle." Joel Dailey"Brett Evans poems make me feel dirty/clean. He takes the entire subjective world that we want to un-see, opens a view to the squalor that we want to overlook, and re-upholsters it with gilded coats. I LOVE THIS AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE is like shuffling a deck of cards and then pulling out the Ace over and over again. Each one a new lyric, an unapologetic delve into the psyche of our Americanness, our otherness, and full of fortune love. Evans brings the solution to light in each poem a temporary in your face, that falls away into the crushing beauty of Americana." Mariana Ruiz"

So, I'm half-tempted to consider #stown podcast as an audiobook for the month. Incredible! If you haven't checked out this new podcast from the producers of Serial and This American Life, check it!

BookishFeminist I've been meaning to try this!! 8y
Karen_V I tried it and really struggled with it -- enough to quit, in fact, though I really liked Serial. It's definitely creating strong responses from both people who love it and those who didn't. 8y
Chassie I totally think it should count as an audio book. I thought the same thing when I was listening to it. I need a short story collection inspired by the podcast. 8y

melrailey I loved S-Town and think it should be an audio. It was very interesting and ended up going somewhere quite different from where it started. 8y
rachelm @Karen_V I've noticed that! Which chapter did you quit on? 8y
rachelm @Chassie I kept thinking that too! I wonder if they will release something..: 8y
rachelm @melrailey so true. It's very hard to categorize. 8y
Karen_V @rachelm after chapter one! It just wasn't sitting well for me. 8y
rachelm @karen_v ohh! It realllly changes directions after chapter 2, but I can see it's not everyone's taste 8y
