Description
As political dishonesty continues to infect the ongoing process of history's creation, a diverse group of America's best fiction writers take on the challenge of creating counter-narratives. This ground-breaking anthology seeks to challenge, tease and expand upon the hegemonic, single narrative of mainstream American history - moving beyond the canonical to create a patchwork, anecdotal history of the young nation. Here are the moments and the people left out of the textbooks.
Author Biography

Her second novel Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes, is forthcoming from Penguin/Plume. Adam Mansbach is the author of two novels: Angry Black White Boy (Crown, 2005) and Shackling Water (Doubleday).
