Deer Hunting With Jesus

Dispatches From America's Class War
Jun 06, 2015bogwolf rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
Bageant is a keen observer of a population seldom given a sympathetic and complex examination - working-class southern whites. And though his anger is most for the powerful of either political stripe, no one escapes unscathed. Bageant's sense of humor lessens the sting from time to time but his is a despairing voice mostly. Two essays in particular, from this collection, stand out as excellent - perhaps even *Important*: The Ballad of Lynndie England & The American Hologram. I advise a reader to take in all the essays in the order the author offers, but if you only have time for a couple, read those two. Good stuff.
