From his work as a reporter at Hustler magazine to his National Magazine Award-winning writing for Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, Evan Wright has always had an affinity for outsiders---what he calls "the lost tribes of America." The previously published pieces in this collection chart a deeply personal journey. Along the way, Wright encounters runaway teens earning corporate dollars as skateboard pitchmen; radical anarchists plotting the overthrow of corporate America; and young American troops on the hunt for terrorists in the combat zones of the Middle East. His subjects are people for whom the American dream is either just out of grasp or something they've chosen to reject altogether.

Sometimes frightening, usually profane, and often darkly comic, Hella Nation is Evan Wright's meticulously observed tour of the jagged edges of all those other Americas hiding in plain sight amid the nation's malls and gated communities.

Reseñas editoriales

This candid and witty exposé of American subculture features author Evan Wright’s autobiographical observations on such sultry subjects as UFC wrestling, Aryan Nations, the music industry, and pornography shoots. These loosely related articles form a picaresque tapestry of American identity, a patchwork road trip that is enthralling, funny, and occasionally harrowing. Performer Paul Boehmer (Star Trek: Voyager, The Thomas Crown Affair) lends an air of stoicism to these ribald revelations. Where Wright’s reminiscence might, from time to time, come across as excessively barbed or snarky, Boehmer manages to level off the edges through his knack for understated, easygoing good humor.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Vivid confirmation of the arrival of a major chronicler of those who live on or beyond the margins of the American mainstream." ( Kirkus)

This is the sort of book we should be assigning in our sociology classes. Wright is an ambassador to the marginalized, an embedded reporter with America's freaks, degenerates, and psychopaths. We spend time with right wing movie producers, anarchists, alcoholic skate board punks, and HIV positive porn stars.

Durkheim taught us that by defining deviance we construct what is normal. Hella Nation would work well in the classroom as our students could engage in systematic study of social organization and structure through the entertaining lens of drug addicts and white supremacists. These essays were originally published in Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, and the book does not always hang together in terms of narrative (an editor willing to cut would have helped out as well). Despite its flaws I'd nominate Hella Nation to our curriculum.

Awesome bunch of stories covering the weird and concerning happenings of the 2000s. It was funny, strange, insightful, concerning and surprisingly humane with the subject matter definitely give it a listen

Narrator is pretty generic but veers towards stereotype when doing women, black and southern voices. The book is filled with interesting stories, more than making up for the performance shortcomings.

Good book, weak narrator

His writing will be missed as he could capture misfits that went ignored. An excellent piece of our subcultures.
