Description: "Svenvold offers sharp reflections on the cult of the outlaw and the charms of hucksterism, while staying keenly attuned to the wonderful strangeness of a culture that could transform a corpse into a celebrity."- "The New Yorker"

Review Quotes: "What Svenvold brings to the party, aside from jaunty prose and a keen eye for the incongruous but telling details, is a willingness to ramble with his subject through the decades and across the country, using him as a line upon which to string odd facts and insights about the lower reaches of American culture."--New York Times Book Review
