The Partly Cloudy Patriot


#315
Title: The Partly Cloudy Patriot
Author: Sarah Vowell
Year: 2002
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
209 pages

I want to like this collection of (mostly) political essays more than I do. I'm not sure why I didn't enjoy it much--Vowell's thinking jumps and associates amusingly, her topics are coherent and interesting, and her writing is usually fine, if sometimes also unremarkable. When I've heard Vowell speak, I've found her funny. Whatever the reason, this simply didn't appeal.
