  Pulphead: Dispatches from the Other Side of America by John Jeremiah Sullivan

  Price: £9.99    Add to Basket

  In this wonderful collection of essays John Jeremiah Sullivan takes the reader on a bizarre cross country trip across America, navigating Christian rock concerts and former reality television stars, as well as meditating on darker matters, such as the gulf coast in the aftermath of Katrina. Though reminiscent of David Foster Wallace, Sullivan is more accessible than his predecessor. Often an essayist is trumped by their subject, but Sullivan’s talent is in engaging the uninitiated. He writes with a honed lucidity, approaches his subjects without condescension and can provoke embarrassing giggles on your morning commute. These are informative, funny and bizarre encounters that will make you want to hire an R.V. and head out onto the open road.
