SUMMARY:Barbara Bridges -Fantasyland
DESCRIPTION:Fantasyland: How America  Went Haywire  Discusses our nationwide willingness to embrace a factual relativity. Kurt Anderson \nIn this sweeping\, eloquent history of America\, Kurt Andersen shows that what’s happening in our country today—this post-factual\, “fake news” moment we’re all living through—is not something new\, but rather the ultimate expression of our national character. America was founded by wishful dreamers\, magical thinkers\, and true believers\, by hucksters and their suckers. Fantasy is deeply embedded in our DNA. \nOver the course of five centuries—from the Salem witch trials to Scientology to the Satanic Panic of the 1980s\, from P. T. Barnum to Hollywood and the anything-goes\, wild-and-crazy sixties\, from conspiracy theories to our fetish for guns and obsession with extraterrestrials—our love of the fantastic has made America exceptional in a way that we’ve never fully acknowledged. From the start\, our ultra-individualism was attached to epic dreams and epic fantasies—every citizen was free to believe absolutely anything\, or to pretend to be absolutely anybody. With the gleeful erudition and tell-it-like-it-is ferocity of a Christopher Hitchens\, Andersen explores whether the great American experiment in liberty has gone off the rails.
