America's citizens seem plagued by despair and frustration, much
deeper today than the "malaise" President Jimmy Carter noted twenty
years ago. Our political and social cultures are driven by issues
morally complex and yet presented with simple-minded hostility.
What's the matter with Kansas? What has happened to the once proud
leader of the free world? How secure is our future? Does the
republic stand or have we lost it already?
Born in 1941, novelist, critic, and teacher Eric Larsen sees his
own lifetime as paralleling the arc of a national dissolution, and
in three penetrating essays he describes an increasingly desperate
situation. A blindness has set in, he argues, producing writers no
longer able to write, professors more harmful than helpful, a
replacement virtually nation-wide of "thinking with "feeling while
the population seems unable to grasp even the remotest outlines of
such dangerous, radical change. In the tradition of George Orwell,
Upton Sinclair, Paul Goodman, and Christopher Lasch, Larsen offers
an impassioned critique of where we once were, where we are, and
where we're very soon going if we don't watch out.
