Along the way, Fountain probes deeply into history, illuminating the forces and watershed moments of the past that mirror and precipitated the present, from the hollowed out notion of the American Dream, to Richard Nixons southern strategy, to our weaponized new conception of American exceptionalism, to the cult of celebrity that gave rise to Donald Trump. In an urgent and deeply incisive voice, Ben Fountain has fused history and the present day to paint a startling portrait of the state of our nation. Beautiful Country Burn Again is a searing indictment of how we came to this point, and where we may be headed. 541 $d 20200210. 650 4 $a Essays. 650 4 $a United States - 21st Century. 650 4 $a Political Process - Campaigns & Elections. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 700 $a Butler, Ron. 710 $a TEI Landmark Audio. 710 $a Blackstone Audio, Inc. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20200908011301.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2ECB54EF19811EA805CF66A3EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
