ISBN: 9780803215443 / Angielski / Twarda / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Living Blue in the Red States
ISBN: 9780803260085 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
Political pundits never tire of reminding us of the great cultural divide between conservative -red- states and liberal -blue- ones. But common sense tells us that not all people in these states can be politically like-minded. David Starkey, a former red-state resident, wondered what politically progressive creative writers were feeling in the wake of George W. Bush's reelection. How, Starkey asked contributors, does one live blue in a red state. This book supplies many answers. Writers as different as Jonis Agee and Stephen Corey, Robin Hemley and Lee Martin (a 2006 Pulitzer...
