If youre going to lie about the past, you might as well make up lies that are fun! Washington Post humor columnist Alexandra Petri is perhaps Americas most beloved political satirist. Her new, side-splitting work of historical humor uses imagined documents to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nations complicated past. From the Spanish conquistadors to the Salem witch trials, from Paul Reveres ride to the exclamation mark in Oklahoma!, Alexandra Petris U.S. History presents a deranged timeline in which John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, Nicola Teslas friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Petris historical fan fiction shows why she has been hailed as genius,* a national treasure,** and one of the funniest writers alive.*** *Olivia Nuzzi, Katha Pollitt **Julia Ioffe, Katy Tur, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Jamil Smith, and Susan Hennessey *** Randall Munroe
