Joshua Ferris on the Stories We Tell Ourselves

“Fictions get put into people,” says the author of “Then We Came to the End” and “The Dinner Party.” A conversation with Bill Tipper.

Sarah Palin's Going Rogue earned her slots on bestseller lists coast to coast, but according to the former Alaska Governor, it also had another, unforeseen benefit: She credits her book tour conversations with ordinary Americans as the inspiration for this book. In America By Heart, the always outspoken former vice presidential candidate intersperses personal reflections with her favorite classic and contemporary readings on family, religion, and patriotism. Rousing selections for like-minded mavericks; bound to be a bestseller.

Sarah Palin’s second book is a highly personal testament to her deep love of America, her strong roots in faith, and her appreciation of family as well as the embarrassment of having a teenage daughter who ended up pregnant. In her warm, welcoming voice and folksy style, Palin discusses American history, culture, and current affairs, and reflects on the key values of her life that continue to inform her vision of America’s future. More overtly political than her autobiography, the book also includes brief readings from classic and contemporary texts that have moved and inspired her and portraits of Americans, both famous and obscure, whom she admires. Palin fans will enjoy this audio experience. B.C.E. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
