À propos de ce contenu audio

Gazing into the bathroom mirror one morning while shaving, Josh Kornbluth realizes that he looks remarkably like the guy on the $100 bill. Like any good Jewish son, he immediately calls his mother. From there he becomes obsessed with what it means to be a founding father, especially when your own father/son relationship (Ben had an illegitimate son named William who was a British loyalist during the Revolutionary War) is more than a bit strained. Part History Detectives and part embarrassingly hilarious autobiography, Kornbluth’s resulting investigation of the man behind the famous spectacles will take you from the hallowed halls of academia to Kornbluth’s richly comic interactions with his mother Bunny and Aunt Birdie, sharing along the way his discoveries about America’s history, family foibles, and the surprises beneath the surface of even our most familiar American tall tales.

    Listening to this audiobook for the second time in 2020 a couple years since the first time, I appreciate it even more. it’s a funny book but also very deep. Josh’s performance is very humorous and warm. Its good for me as an Afrodescendant person navigating intergenerational trauma, to be reminded of the trauma of Jewish people and the creative collaboration between African Americans and Jews in American music. Josh’s self-deprecating humour the stories of overcoming bankruptcy, tax snafus and academic failings are reassuring because I’m actually studying for a Masters right now and facing down a few financial dragons. Bravo Josh, hope the world is being kind to you and yours.

    Touching, funny, even better second time around
