Publisher's summary

SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality instructional study guides for challenging works of literature. This audio study guide for Lafayette in the Somewhat United States by Sarah Vowell includes detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book’s multiple symbols, motifs, and themes such as American mythology, war as an opportunity, and learning the wrong lessons from history. Featured content also includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay questions, and discussion topics.

This nonfiction work uses the perspective of the Marquis de Lafayette - a Frenchman who longed to fight with the Americans and win military glory - to give an irreverent, timely history of the United States, with relevant implications for America’s modern political situation. Vowell shows how disagreeability in politics can be motivated by greed, stubbornness, or ignorance; however, disagreeability in the spirit of genuine, curious inquiry or in response to perceived oppression, can be a source of progress.

This audio study guide presents the same expert content - written by experienced teachers, professors, and literary scholars - in an easy-to-access audio format. SuperSummary study guides demonstrate an authoritative voice, present expert analysis, offer big picture ideas, and help listeners understand a work’s underlying meanings and conclusions.
