Fake News: It’s as American as George Washington’s Cherry Tree – FANTASYLAND How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History By Kurt Andersen
September 8, 2017 /
Reading a great revisionist history of America is the bookish way to feel what it’s like to be born again. Suddenly past, present and future are connected by a visible thread. Stray details and aberrations start to make sense. You feel ashamed, but also enlightened, because at least you have named the sin: You belong to a nation of bloodthirsty colonizers (Howard Zinn), or anti-intellectuals (Richard Hofstadter) or, in Kurt Andersen’s latest opus, a people who have committed themselves over the last half century to florid, collective delusion.
