About this product
Product Information
A lost (invented!) history of America, Alexandra Petri's US History is the book for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding. Petri's "hitorical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. On Petri's deranged timeline, John and Abigall Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! Complete with a pop quiz!

Reviews
[B]rilliantly bananas.... Petri's latest book demonstrates primarily two things: One, she is a genius; and two, no, she really is.... [S]atire at the highest level. ...[A] godsend of a book., Alexandra Petri's deranged take on American history captures the spirit of the nation's past so well, I'm afraid it's going to be banned in Florida., Petri's writing is consistently witty and erudite without the slightest hint of pretentiousness.... If you can make the 19th-century debate over monetary policy funny, you're clearly on to something., Some [of Petri's] selections are wry, some preposterous, some laugh-out-loud funny; all are inventive... This intriguing collection will definitely keep audiences entertained, whether they read through cover to cover or dip in for the occasional treat., A charming, brisk galumph through history. I enjoyed it immensely, as I always do with Alexandra Petri's ricochet reactions to the historical process., Some [of Petri's] selections are wry, some preposterous, some laugh-out-loud funny; all are inventive...This intriguing collection will definitely keep audiences entertained, whether they read through cover to cover or dip in for the occasional treat., Petri's writing is consistently witty and erudite without the slightest hint of pretentiousness... If you can make the 19th-century debate over monetary policy funny, you're clearly on to something., Dazzling...Petri's seemingly effortless ability to reimagine American history in the most bizarre ways makes this one of the most entertaining books you'll read this year...It's a satirical salve at a time when we need humor more than ever., Alexandra Petri's marvelously inventive, wickedly funny, and extremely astute take on US history is exactly what we need as we ponder the future of the American Experiment and begin to prepare for the country's 250th anniversary., I can safely say I will never look at Sesame Street, Emily Dickinson, or John and Abigail Adams's marriage the same way again.
