Summary
Cranial Fracking
Dispatches from the front lines of American culture by the great humorist Ian Frazier, "America's greatest essayist" ( Los Angeles Times ), has gathered his insights on the most urgent issues of today in Cranial Fracking . From climate change (what did Al Gore say at his colloquium on the rising temperatures in Hell?) to the state of culture (what do you do when you're afflicted with Loss of Funding?) to Texas (what should we do with Texas?), he has all the answers. Or, at the very least, a lot of questions. Frazier is endlessly curious and perpetually delighted, and seeing the absurdity of the world through his eyes is irresistible. Once more, the author of Hogs Wild and Travels in Siberia has struck oil.
