Publisher's Synopsis
What do we mean when we say that someone or something is normal? Delusions of Normality marshals considerable evidence to persuasively argue that we Americans are collectively far less sane, far more corruptible, and far druggier, kinkier and zanier than we generally admit, and that a great many of the unspoken assumptions that underlie our media's discourse are seriously at odds with the reality of people's lives. It offers a bracing but refreshing look at several key areas of social reality, providing an urgently needed corrective lens to our rose-colored myopia about who we are and how we behave.--Cover.
