Sweet Heaven When I Die

In this gorgeous collection of essays that has drawn comparisons to the work of Joan Didion, John McPhee, and Norman Mailer, best-selling author Jeff Sharlet reports back from the far reaches of belief, whether in the clear mountain air of Sweet Fuck All, Colorado or in a midnight congregation of anarchists celebrating a victory over police. Like movements in a complex piece of music, Sharlet s dispatches vibrate with all the madness and beauty, the melancholy and aspirations for transcendence, of American life."
