A hilarious and fascinating look at the great middle of our nation. </b> <p/>With his unique blend of intrepidity, tongue-in-cheek humor, and wide-eyed wonder, Ian Frazier takes us on a journey of more than 25,000 miles up and down and across the vast and myth-inspiring<i> Great Plains</i>. A travelogue, a work of scholarship, and a western adventure, <i>Great Plains</i> takes us from the site of Sitting Bull's cabin, to an abandoned house once terrorized by Bonnie and Clyde, to the scene of the murders chronicled in Truman Capote's<i> In Cold Blood</i>. It is an expedition that reveals the heart of the American West.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Extraordinary...One thinks of such American originals as John McPhee, Wallace Stegner, Edward Hoagland, Peter Matthiessen, and Evan S. Connell." --<i>The Washington Post Book</i> <p/>"This is a brillant, funny, and altogether perfect book, soaked in research and then aired out on the open plains to evaporate the excess, leaving this modern masterpiece. It makes me want to get in a truck and drive straight out to North Dakota and look at the prairie." --<i>Garrison Keillor</i> <p/>"History written with passion and delight... Frazier is a great storyteller." --<i>Newsweek</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ian Frazier</b> is the author of <i>Great Plains</i>, <i>The Fish's Eye</i>, <i>On the Rez</i>, <i>Family</i>, and <i>Travels in Siberia</i>, as well as <i>Dating Your Mom</i>, <i>Lamentations of the Father</i>, and <i>The Cursing Mommy's Book of Days</i>.
