A wickedly funny collection of personal essays from popular NPR personality Sarah Vowell.
Hailed by
Newsweek
as a "cranky stylist with talent to burn," Vowell has an irresistible voice caustic and sympathetic, insightful and double-edged that has attracted a loyal following for her magazine writing and radio monologues on
This American Life
.
While tackling subjects such as identity, politics, religion, art, and history, these autobiographical tales are written with a biting humor, placing Vowell solidly in the tradition of Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker. Vowell searches the streets of Hoboken for traces of the town's favorite son, Frank Sinatra. She goes under cover of heavy makeup in an investigation of goth culture, blasts cannonballs into a hillside on a father-daughter outing, and maps her family's haunted history on a road trip down the Trail of Tears.
Take the Cannoli
is an eclectic tour of the New World, a collection of alternately hilarious and heartbreaking essays and autobiographical yarns.
