My Take
What I admire most about Sarah Vowell is that she made American history feel like a conversation with a sharp, funny friend rather than a lecture. Her unmistakable voice, familiar to anyone who heard Violet in The Incredibles, carries the same wry intelligence into her seven nonfiction books. Coming from Muskogee, Oklahoma, and refining her craft over twelve years on public radio, she belongs to a rare breed of writer who is also a performer. I value commentators who can be both rigorous and entertaining, and Vowell pulls that off with a deadpan charm that genuinely makes you want to learn.
