I enjoyed it immensely.” —Howard Zinn, author of \u003ci\u003eA People’s History of the United States\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory is distorted the moment it’s recorded—and in these politically dishonest times, challenging the stories we’re told is more important than ever. In this groundbreaking anthology of original fiction, a diverse group of America’s best writers takes on the task of creating counter-narratives to mainstream American history. Here are some of the moments and the people left out of the textbooks. Here is what else happened—on the margins of American life, and in between the lines of our history books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Fictional History of the United States with Huge Chunks Missing\u003c\/i\u003e brings together an eclectic array of celebrated authors and cartoonists to create a patchwork, anecdotal history of this complicated country. From the Chinese discovery of America in 1426 to the new McCarthyism of a post–9\/11 world, this collection recasts everything from the moon landing to the Lindbergh kidnapping, westward expansion to the sexual proclivities of Civil War officers. Riveting, inventive, and politically vital, this anthology picks up—and yanks on—America’s supposed commitment to seeking the truth . . . even if that truth is revealed in fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal stories \u0026amp; artwork by: Daniel Alarcon, Amy Bloom, Kate Bornstein, Alexander Chee, T Cooper, Keith Knight, Ron Kovic, Paul La Farge, Felicia Luna Lemus, Adam Mansbach, Valerie Miner, Tommy O’Malley, Neal Pollack, David Rees, Sarah Schulman, Darin Strauss, and Benjamin Weissman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eT Cooper\u003c\/b\u003e is an author, television writer, journalist, and filmmaker whose groundbreaking work has been pushing boundaries both in print and on screen for twenty years.
