Hella Nation by Evan Wright
Charts the author's personal journey, from his stark but sympathetic portrayals of sex workers in Porn Valley to his raw portrait of a Hollywood uber-agent turned war documentarian and hero of America's far right. This book presents an observed tour of the jagged edges of all those other Americas hiding in plain sight.
"a comically macabre portrait of American life.. Wright may have even created his own genre of reporting ... which rather than viewing the world through a cascade of drugs and alcohol, applies the prism of a 12-step program to a society that has thoroughly assimilated [Hunter S.] Thompson's excess." USA Today "Readers of Generation Kill, which recounted Wright's experiences as an embedded reporter in Iraq, will definitely want to pick up this hugely entertaining book. So will fans of first-person journalism of the sort practiced by Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe ... funny, mesmerizing, frightening, and mind-boggling" Booklist "[Evan Wright's] style owes more to Hunter S. Thompson than to any sort of political correctness" Newsday
