Title: What if Felt Like Reading this book
Review: This is a concise history of the American Cultures exhibited in the 20th century. The author uses ten chapters, one for each decade. He displayed his liberal point of view and considered mostly the extreme radical happenings to paint his cultural pictures. It's not that his illustrations did not occur but lots of other moderate life styles were also progressing. He fails to even mention these. I have lived through most of the twentiety century and I did not see "myself" portrayed in any of these chapters. Maybe I did not "live" with his crowd. The author, a feature writer and editor for the Washington Post, uses a telegraphic type of prose which sometimes becomes annoying. Generally speaking, I did not enjoy the book. It was not what I expected.
