The United States is in a fifty-states-wide couples' counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together? Quinn calls us out state-by-state, and identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government he skewers us all: red, blue, and purple-- while maintaining the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the U.S. into being. -- adapted from jacketHow can a nation composed of states that range from Utah ('The church of states') to Vermont ('The state of relevant old people') possibly hang together? In Colin Quinn's new audiobook, the popular comedian, social commentator, and star of the shows Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional tackles the condition of the union today
