Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell

5.0

---

I don’t know why I have not included this book in Goodreads before, because I think this was my fifth time through this text, either in print or on audio. Listening to Sarah Vowell feels like having a dear, brilliant, and obsessive friend walk me through a corner of history, particularly a corner that’s dusty with neglect and popular indifference. I’ve learned so much from this little volume, and it’s become the plate-lunch-comfort-food of audiobooks for me.
