Synopsis
This errant, fluid, seemingly chaotic sampling of the airwaves is held together by a determined act of searching for America. For a single year Sara Vowell recorded her thoughts and impressions as a conscientious explorer in the one medium that might be seen as the great unifier in a land without unity. She demonstrates that the voices we hear and the randomness that persists collectively equal what we understand as the frantic, nervous, rich, and perishable U.S.A.

"Vowell brashly stakes out new territory."
Wiegand
"What does the country sound like? Writing often like an unwilling exile looking for sounds and words that will make her feel at home, Vowell writes most deeply--and most painfully, and most thrillingly--as a patriot. She is discovering her country, herself, and those around her as she listens..."
