The incomparable Martha Smith (@MostlyMartha on Bluesky) is here to discuss Sarah Vowell's "creative nonfiction" juggernaut ASSASSINATION VACATION. Released 20 years ago this year, the novel-length personal essay on Vowell's own ruminations on murder, death, and the American dream is really hitting... well, not differently, but exactly the same as when we first read it in 2005.
