Big White Ghetto

When Kevin Williamson posts a piece, I shush the room so I can concentrate on every word. His observations on American culture, history, and politics capture the moment we're in--and where we are going. --DANA PERINO, Fox News This book is classic Kevin Williamson--wildly entertaining, unsparing, brimming with insight, eloquent, and, above all, fearless. You can't truly understand the country you're living in without reading Williamson on the white working class that he himself came from and that he vividly describes without regard to any piety, right or left. --RICH LOWRY, National Review No commentator on America's current discontents matches Kevin Williamson's written pyrotechnics, which feature indignation laced with wit and information delivered with moral urgency. He writes often about the problem of addiction but is himself a cause of a wholesome addiction. I am among the many readers who are Williamson addicts. --GEORGE F. WILL, Washington Post Kevin Williamson may be one of the most difficult writers in America to categorize. He's an unapologetic defender of some unfashionable orthodoxies and a blistering critic of fashionable pieties--across the ideological spectrum. This collection is Williamson in full: Veering between laugh-out-loud funny and soberingly, even dismayingly, insightful, he brings an unsparing eye for the truth as he finds it. As difficult as Kevin is to label, he's even harder to ignore, as anyone lucky enough to pick up this book will soon discover. --JONAH GOLDBERG, The Dispatch
