媒体推荐 "[State by State] is a funny, moving, rousing collection, greater than the sum of its excellent parts, a convention of literary superdelegates, each one boisterously nominating his or her piece of the Republic." (New York Times Book Review )
"This eclectic collection of essays describing the ordinary people and places within our 50 states is as essential as the Rand McNally atlas. Alternately brash and bashful...each literary foray in State by State is well worth the trip. Grade: A." (Entertainment Weekly )
"Self-consciously modeled after state guides sponsored by the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s, this ambitious effort features a terrific roster of writers." (Kirkus Reviews )
"Ideal nightstand reading and a welcome reminder of the pluribus behind the unum." (Salon.com )
"An enjoyable journey: 50 essays, cartoons and mini-plays, plus an afterward about Washington, DC and a fascinating appendix.all in all, it makes one yearn for a driver's license and a stretch of open highway." (New York Post )
"This fascinating collection, inspired by guides in the 1930s and 1940s, includes original essays on each of the states by some of the country's finest (mostly younger) writers." (Seattle Post-Intelligencer )
"Odds are, reading STATE BY STATE, that you'll fall for every state a little, even if they remain tremendously hard to explain." (Los Angeles Times )
"Fascinating." (Seattle Post-Intelligencer )
