The writers discuss topics as diverse as ragtime, Jewish musical theater, jazz, Native American music, the Circuit Chautauqua, Billy Joel, and rap. "What We Watch" features essays on film, television, and video games. Here, the writers consider Western manhood in Unforgiven, video games, The Golden Girls, The Wire, iCarly, Hunger Games, Twilight, the yellow peril in The Dark Knight series, vampires, zombies, and The Daily Show. "What We Read" features essays on post-World War II men’s magazines, The Catcher in the Rye, Stephen King, Native American identity and cereal boxes, comic books, and urban literature.

You will read essays on the hobo and trains, tourism at Silver Springs, racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the fair, the coffee shop, and crime scene tourism.
