Mission to America (Doubleday)
Walter Kirn uses comedy the way a magician uses sleight-of-hand. His hilarity conceals sadness, his levity masks gravity. Here, we talk about American spirituality and how it often manifests itself as naíve nonsense before transforming into perilous disregard for life.
