	Many historians and cultural observers argue we live in a post-truth world{\textemdash}but\&nbsp;if truth is dead, who killed it? And how did it die? Join celebrated historian Jill Lepore as she cracks the case by examining key moments in the history of truth, doubt, and evidence\&nbsp;across the last century.



	\&nbsp;



	In\&nbsp;Who Killed Truth?\&nbsp;acclaimed Harvard historian and\&nbsp;New Yorker\&nbsp;staff writer Jill Lepore traces the origins of our current post-truth crisis. In a series of spellbinding stories, Lepore investigates murders, hoaxes, lies and delusions to reckon with the instability of truth and fiction in the twenty-first century. Listeners will follow Lepore through a fascinating, erudite, and antic journey through the thorny problem of how we know what we know, and why it seems sometimes as if we don{\textquoteright}t know anything at all anymore.\&nbsp;



	\&nbsp;



	Revisiting\&nbsp;key\&nbsp;moments in\&nbsp;U.S.\&nbsp;history--from\&nbsp;the Scopes Monkey Trial\&nbsp;in 1925 to\&nbsp;the 1977 National Women{\textquoteright}s Convention\&nbsp;to the first election predicted by computer, and more--Lepore uncovers the secrets of the past the way a detective might, hot on the trail of the killer of\&nbsp;truth.

					A book to be read and kept for posterity, The Deadline is the art of the essay at its best. \&nbsp;
					
						Few, if any, historians have brought such insight, wisdom, and empathy to public discourse as Jill Lepore. Arriving at The New Yorker in 2005, Lepore, with her panoptical range and razor-sharp style, brought a transporting freshness and a literary vivacity to everything from profiles of long-dead writers to urgent constitutional analysis to an unsparing scrutiny of the woeful affairs of the nation itself. The astonishing essays collected in The Deadline offer a prismatic portrait of Americans{\textquoteright} techno-utopianism, frantic fractiousness, and unprecedented{\textemdash}but armed{\textemdash}aimlessness. From lockdowns and race commissions to Bratz dolls and bicycles, to the losses that haunt Lepore{\textquoteright}s life, these essays again and again cross what she calls the deadline, the {\textquotedblleft}river of time that divides the quick from the dead.{\textquotedblright} Echoing Gore Vidal{\textquoteright}s United States in its massive intellectual erudition, The Deadline, with its remarkable juxtaposition of the political and the personal, challenges the very nature of the essay{\textemdash}and of history{\textemdash}itself.

	abstract = {
	A brilliant, revelatory account of the Cold War origins of the data-mad, algorithmic twenty-first century, from the author of the acclaimed international bestseller,\&nbsp;These Truths.



	\&nbsp;



	The Simulmatics Corporation, founded in 1959, mined data, targeted voters, accelerated news, manipulated consumers, destabilized politics, and disordered knowledge--decades before Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Cambridge Analytica. Silicon Valley likes to imagine it has no past but the scientists of Simulmatics are the long-dead grandfathers of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Borrowing from psychological warfare, they used computers to predict and direct human behavior, deploying their {\textquotedblleft}People Machine{\textquotedblright} from New York, Cambridge, and Saigon for clients that included John Kennedy{\textquoteright}s presidential campaign, the\&nbsp;New York Times, Young \&amp; Rubicam, and, during the Vietnam War, the Department of Defense. Jill Lepore, distinguished Harvard historian and\&nbsp;New Yorker\&nbsp;staff writer, unearthed from the archives the almost unbelievable story of this long-vanished corporation, and of the women hidden behind it. In the 1950s and 1960s, Lepore argues, Simulmatics invented the future by building the machine in which the world now finds itself trapped and tormented, algorithm by algorithm.



	\&nbsp;



	{\textquotedblleft}A person can{\textquoteright}t help but feel inspired by the riveting intelligence and joyful curiosity of Jill Lepore.\&nbsp; Knowing that there is a mind like hers in the world is a hope-inducing thing.{\textquotedblright}



	\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp; --George Saunders



	\&nbsp;



	{\textquotedblleft}Everything Lepore writes is distinguished by intelligence, eloquence, and fresh insight.\&nbsp;If Then\&nbsp;is that, and even more: It{\textquoteright}s absolutely fascinating, excavating a piece of little-known American corporate history that reveals a huge amount about the way we live today and the companies that define the modern era.{\textquotedblright}



	\&nbsp;



	\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp; --Susan Orlean



	\&nbsp;



	{\textquotedblleft}Data science, Jill Lepore reminds us in this brilliant book, has a past, and she tells it through the engrossing story of Simulmatics, the tiny, long-forgotten company that helped invent our data-obsessed world, in which prediction is seemingly the only knowledge that matters. A captivating, deeply incisive work.{\textquotedblright}

	\&nbsp;



	{\textquotedblleft}Think today{\textquoteright}s tech giants invented data mining and market manipulation? Think again. In this page-turning, eye-opening history, Jill Lepore reveals the Cold War roots of the tech-saturated present, in a thrilling tale that moves from the campaigns of Eisenhower and Kennedy to ivied think tanks, Madison Avenue ad firms, and the hamlets of Vietnam. Told with verve, grace, and humanity,\&nbsp;If Then\&nbsp;is an essential, sobering story for understanding our times.{\textquotedblright}

	\&nbsp;



	{\textquotedblleft}It didn{\textquoteright}t all start with Facebook. We have long been fascinated with the potential of using computing technology to predict human behavior. In another fast-paced narrative, Jill Lepore brilliantly uncovers the history of the Simulmatics Corp, which launched the volatile mix of computing, politics and personal behavior that now divides our nation, feeds on private information, and weakens the strength our democratic institutions. If you want to know where this all started, you need not look any further--read this book!{\textquotedblright}

	address = {New York},
	abstract = {From the acclaimed historian and New Yorker writer comes this urgent manifesto on the dilemma of nationalism and the erosion of liberalism in the twenty-first century.At a time of much despair over the future of liberal democracy, Jill Lepore makes a stirring case for the nation in This America, a follow-up to her much-celebrated history of the United States, These Truths.With dangerous forms of nationalism on the rise, Lepore, a Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer, repudiates nationalism here by explaining its long history{\textemdash}and the history of the idea of the nation itself{\textemdash}while calling for a {\textquotedblleft}new Americanism{\textquotedblright}: a generous patriotism that requires an honest reckoning with America{\textquoteright}s past.Lepore begins her argument with a primer on the origins of nations, explaining how liberalism, the nation-state, and liberal nationalism, developed together. Illiberal nationalism, however, emerged in the United States after the Civil War{\textemdash}resulting in the failure of Reconstruction, the rise of Jim Crow, and the restriction of immigration. Much of American history, Lepore argues, has been a battle between these two forms of nationalism, liberal and illiberal, all the way down to the nation{\textquoteright}s latest, bitter struggles over immigration.Defending liberalism, as This America demonstrates, requires making the case for the nation. But American historians largely abandoned that defense in the 1960s when they stopped writing national history. By the 1980s they{\textquoteright}d stopped studying the nation-state altogether and embraced globalism instead. {\textquotedblleft}When serious historians abandon the study of the nation,{\textquotedblright} Lepore tellingly writes, {\textquotedblleft}nationalism doesn{\textquoteright}t die. Instead, it eats liberalism.{\textquotedblright} But liberalism is still in there, Lepore affirms, and This America is an attempt to pull it out. {\textquotedblleft}In a world made up of nations, there is no more powerful way to fight the forces of prejudice, intolerance, and injustice than by a dedication to equality, citizenship, and equal rights, as guaranteed by a nation of laws.{\textquotedblright}A manifesto for a better nation, and a call for a {\textquotedblleft}new Americanism,{\textquotedblright} This America reclaims the nation{\textquoteright}s future by reclaiming its past.\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}A sharp, short history of nationalism....

We ignore them at our peril.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash} Kirkus Reviews (starred review)\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}Urgent and pithy{\textellipsis} Readers seeking clear and relevant definitions of political concepts will appreciate this brisk yet thorough, frank, and bracing look at the ancient origins of the nation state versus the late-eighteenth-century coinage of the term {\textquoteleft}nationalism{\textquoteright} and its alignment with exclusion and prejudice.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash} Booklist{\textquotedblleft}A hopeful book for all who believe that America{\textquoteright}s ideals are stronger than our demagogues.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash} Michael Bloomberg\&nbsp;},

And it rests, too, on a fearless dedication to inquiry, writes Jill Lepore in a groundbreaking investigation into the American past that places truth itself at the center of the nation{\textquoteright}s history. In riveting prose, These Truths tells the story of America, beginning in 1492, to ask whether the course of events has proven the nation{\textquoteright}s founding truths, or belied them. {\textquotedblleft}A nation born in contradiction, liberty in a land of slavery, will fight forever over the meaning of its history,{\textquotedblright} Lepore writes, finding meaning in those very contradictions as she weaves American history into a majestic tapestry of faith and hope, of peril and prosperity, of technological progress and moral anguish. Part spellbinding chronicle, part old-fashioned civics book, These Truths, filled with arresting sketches of Americans from John Winthrop and Frederick Douglass to Pauli Murray and Phyllis Schlafly, offers an authoritative new history of a great, and greatly troubled, nation.\&nbsp;Praise for These Truths{\textquotedblleft}[B]rilliant{\textellipsis}insightful{\textellipsis}It isn{\textquoteright}t until you start reading it that you realize how much we need a book like this one at this particular moment.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}Andrew Sullivan,\&nbsp;The New York Times Book Review\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}This sweeping, sobering account of the American past is a story not of relentless progress but of conflict and contradiction, with crosscurrents of reason and faith, black and white, immigrant and native, industry and agriculture rippling through a narrative that is far from completion.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}The\&nbsp;New York Times Book Review, Editors{\textquoteright} Choice\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}[Lepore{\textquoteright}s] one-volume history is elegant, readable, sobering; it extends a steadying hand when a breakneck news cycle lurches from one event to another, confounding minds and churning stomachs.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}Jennifer Szalai,\&nbsp;The New York Times\&nbsp;\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}Jill Lepore is an extraordinarily gifted writer, and\&nbsp;These Truths\&nbsp;is nothing short of a masterpiece of American history.

Understanding America{\textquoteright}s past, as she demonstrates, has always been a central American project. She knows that the "story of America" is as plural and mutable as the nation itself, and the result is a work of prismatic richness, one that rewards not just reading but rereading. This will be an instant classic.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}Kwame Anthony Appiah, author of The Lies that Bind\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}Anyone interested in the future of the Republic must read this book. One of our greatest historians succeeds, where so many have failed, to make sense of the whole canvas of our history. Without ignoring the horrors of conquest, slavery or recurring prejudices, she manages nonetheless to capture the epic quality of the American past. With passion, compassion, wit, and remarkable insight, Lepore brings it all to life, the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. This is a manifesto for our necessarily shared future.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}Lynn Hunt, author of History: Why it Matters\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}In this inspiring and enlightening book, Jill Lepore accomplishes the grand task of telling us what we need to know about our past in order to be good citizens today. Avoiding political and ideological agendas, she confronts the contradictions that come from being born a land of both liberty and slavery, but she uses such conflicts to find meaning{\textemdash}and hope{\textemdash}in the tale of America{\textquoteright}s progress.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}Walter Isaacson, University Professor of History, Tulane, author of The Innovators\&nbsp;"Lepore is a truly gifted writer with profound insight."-Spectator\&nbsp;"This vivid history brings alive the contradictions and hypocrisies of the land of the free"- David Aaronovitch, The Times"A history for the 21st century, far more inclusive than the standard histories of the past"- Guardian"Monumental ... a crucial work for presenting a fresh and clear-sighted narrative of the entire story ... exciting and page-turningly fascinating, in one of those rare history books that can be read with pleasure for its sheer narrative energy"- Simon Winchester, New Statesman"Jill Lepore is that rare combination in modern life of intellect, originality and style"- Amanda Foreman, TLS\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;},

	address = {New York},
	abstract = {From New Yorker staff writer and Harvard historian Jill Lepore, the dark, spellbinding tale of her restless search for the long-lost, longest book ever written, a century-old manuscript called {\textquotedblleft}The Oral History of Our Time.{\textquotedblright}
Joe Gould, a madman, believed he was the most brilliant historian of the twentieth century. So did some of his friends, a group of modernist writers and artists that included E. E. Cummings, Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams, John Dos Passos, and Ezra Pound. Gould began his life{\textquoteright}s work before the First World War, announcing that he intended to write down nearly anything anyone ever said to him. {\textquotedblleft}I am trying to preserve as much detail as I can about the normal life of every day people,{\textquotedblright} he explained, because {\textquotedblleft}as a rule, history does not deal with such small fry.{\textquotedblright} By 1942, when The New Yorker published a profile of Gould written by the reporter Joseph Mitchell, Gould{\textquoteright}s manuscript had grown to more than nine million words. But when Gould died in 1957, in a mental hospital, the manuscript was nowhere to be found. Then, in 1964, in {\textquotedblleft}Joe Gould{\textquoteright}s Secret,{\textquotedblright} a second profile, Mitchell claimed that {\textquotedblleft}The Oral History of Our Time{\textquotedblright} had been, all along, merely a figment of Gould{\textquoteright}s imagination. Lepore, unpersuaded, set about to find out.
Joe Gould{\textquoteright}s Teeth is a Poe-like tale of detection, madness, and invention. Digging through archives all over the country, Lepore unearthed evidence that {\textquotedblleft}The Oral History of Our Time{\textquotedblright} did in fact once exist. Relying on letters, scraps, and Gould{\textquoteright}s own diaries and notebooks{\textemdash}including volumes of his lost manuscript{\textemdash}Lepore argues that Joe Gould{\textquoteright}s real secret had to do with sex and the color line, with modernists{\textquoteright} relationship to the Harlem Renaissance, and, above all, with Gould{\textquoteright}s terrifying obsession with the African American sculptor Augusta Savage. In ways that even Gould himself could not have imagined, what Gould wrote down really is a history of our time: unsettling, and ferocious.

{\textquotedblleft}Lepore specializes in excavating old flashpoints{\textemdash}forgotten or badly misremembered collisions between politics and cultural debates in America{\textquoteright}s past. She lays out for our modern sensibility how some event or social problem was fought over by interest groups, reformers, opportunists and {\textquoteleft}thought leaders{\textquoteright} of the day. The result can look both familiar and disturbing, like our era{\textquoteright}s arguments flipped in a funhouse mirror{\textellipsis}.Her discipline is worthy of a first-class detective.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}The New York Review of Books

"Ms. Lepore{\textquoteright}s lively, surprising and occasionally salacious history is far more than the story of a comic strip. The author, a professor of history at Harvard, places Wonder Woman squarely in the story of women{\textquoteright}s rights in America{\textemdash}a cycle of rights won, lost and endlessly fought for again. Like many illuminating histories, this one shows how issues we debate today were under contention just as vigorously decades ago, including birth control, sex education, the ways in which women can combine work and family, and the effects of {\textquoteright}violent entertainment{\textquoteright} on children. {\textquoteright}The tragedy of feminism in the twentieth century is the way its history seemed to be forever disappearing,{\textquoteright} Ms. Lepore writes. Her superb narrative brings that history vividly into the present, weaving individual lives into the sweeping changes of the century.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}The Wall Street Journal
{\textquotedblleft}Lepore{\textquoteright}s brilliance lies in knowing what to do with the material she has. In her hands, the Wonder Woman story unpacks not only a new cultural history of feminism, but a theory of history as well.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}New York Times Book Review\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}Lepore specializes in excavating old flashpoints{\textemdash}forgotten or badly misremembered collisions between politics and cultural debates in America{\textquoteright}s past. She lays out for our modern sensibility how some event or social problem was fought over by interest groups, reformers, opportunists, and {\textquotedblleft}thought leaders{\textquotedblright} of the day. The result can look both familiar and disturbing, like our era{\textquoteright}s arguments flipped in a funhouse mirror{\textellipsis}.Besides archives and comics Lepore relies on journalism, notebooks, letters, and traces of memoir left by the principals, as well as interviews with surviving colleagues, children, and extended family. Her discipline is worthy of a first-class detective{\textellipsis}.Lepore convinces us that we should know more about early feminists whose work Wonder Woman drew on and carried forward{\textellipsis}.A key spotter of connections, Lepore retrieves a remarkably recognizable feminist through-line, showing us 1920s debates about work-life balance, for example, that sound like something from The Atlantic in the past decade.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}New York Review of Books\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}Even non-comix nerds (or those too young to remember Lynda Carter) will marvel at Jill Lepore{\textquoteright}s deep dive into the real-world origins of the Amazonian superhero with the golden lasso. The fact that a polyamory enthusiast created her partly as a tribute to the reproductive-rights pioneer Margaret Sanger is, somehow, only the fourth or fifth most interesting thing in Ms. Woman{\textquoteright}s bizarre background.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}New York Magazine\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}With a defiantly unhurried ease, Lepore reconstructs the prevailing cultural mood that birthed the idea of Wonder Woman, carefully delineating the conceptual debt the character owes to early-20th-century feminism in general and the birth control movement in particular{\textellipsis}.Again and again, she distills the figures she writes about into clean, simple, muscular prose, making unequivocal assertions that carry a faint electric charge{\textellipsis}[and] attain a transgressive, downright badass swagger.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Slate\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}Deftly combines biography and cultural history to trace the entwined stories of Marston, Wonder Woman, and 20th-century feminism{\textellipsis}.Lepore {\textendash} a professor of American history at Harvard, a New Yorker writer, and the author of {\textquotedblleft}Book of Ages{\textquotedblright} {\textendash} is an endlessly energetic and knowledgeable guide to the fascinating backstory of Wonder Woman. She{\textquoteright}s particularly skillful at showing the subtle process by which personal details migrate from life into art.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Christian Science Monitor\&nbsp; {\textquotedblleft}Wonder Woman, everyone{\textquoteright}s favorite female superhero (bulletproof bracelets, hello!), gets the Lasso of Truth treatment in this illuminating biography. Lepore, a Harvard prof and New Yorker writer, delves into the complicated family life of Wonder Woman{\textquoteright}s creator (who invented the lie detector, BTW), examines the use of bondage in his comics, and highlights the many ways in which the beloved Amazonian princess has come to embody feminism.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}Cosmopolitan\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}The Secret History of Wonder Woman relates a tale so improbable, so juicy, it{\textquoteright}ll have you saying, {\textquotedblleft}Merciful Minerva!{\textquotedblright}{\textellipsis} an astonishingly thorough investigation of the man behind the world{\textquoteright}s most popular female superhero{\textellipsis}. Lepore has assembled a vast trove of images and deploys them cunningly. Besides a hefty full-color section of Wonder Woman art in the middle, there are dozens of black-and-white pictures scattered throughout the text. Many of these are panels from Marston{\textquoteright}s comics that mirror events in his own life. Combined with Lepore{\textquoteright}s zippy prose, it all makes for a supremely engaging reading experience.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Etelka Lehoczky, NPR\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}If it makes your head spin to imagine a skimpily clad pop culture icon as (spoiler alert!) a close relation of feminist birth control advocate Margaret Sanger, then prepare to be dazzled by the truths revealed in historian Jill Lepore{\textquoteright}s {\textquotedblleft}The Secret History of Wonder Woman.{\textquotedblright} The story behind Wonder Woman is sensational, spellbinding and utterly improbable. Her origins lie in the feminism of the early 1900s, and the intertwined dramas that surrounded her creation are the stuff of pulp fiction and tabloid scandal{\textellipsis}.It took a super-sleuth to uncover the mysteries of this intricate history, hidden from view for more than half a century. With acrobatic research prowess, muscular narrative chops and disarming flashes of humor, Lepore rises to the challenge, bringing to light previously unknown details and deliberately obfuscated connections.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}San Francisco Chronicle\&nbsp; {\textquotedblleft}This captivating, sometimes racy, charming illustrated history is one part biography of the character and one part biography of her fascinating creator, psychologist and inventor William Moulton Marston{\textemdash}an early feminist who believed, way before his time, that the world would be a better place if only women were running it{\textellipsis}.In the process of bringing her {\textquoteleft}superhero{\textquoteright} to life in this very carefully researched, witty secret {\textquoteleft}herstory,{\textquoteright} Lepore herself emerges as a kind of superheroine: a woman on a mission{\textemdash}as energetic, powerful, brilliant and provocative as her subject.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Good Housekeeping\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}This book is important, readable scholarship, making the connection between popular culture and the deeper history of the American woman{\textquoteright}s fight for equality{\textellipsis}.Lepore restores Wonder Woman to her rightful and righteous place.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}The Kansas City Star{\textquotedblleft}Fascinating{\textellipsis}often brilliant{\textellipsis}.Through assiduous research (the endnotes comprise almost a third of the book and are often very interesting reading), Lepore unravels a hidden history, and in so doing links her subjects{\textquoteright} lives to some of the most important social movements of the era. It{\textquoteright}s a remarkable, thought-provoking achievement.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Bookpage\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}The Marston family{\textquoteright}s story is ripe for psychoanalysis. And so is The Secret History, since it raises interesting questions about what motivates writers to choose the subjects of their books. Having devoted her last work to Jane Franklin Mecom, Benjamin Franklin{\textquoteright}s sister, Lepore clearly has a passion for intelligent, opinionated women whose legacies have been overshadowed by the men they love. In her own small way, she{\textquoteright}s helping women get the justice they deserve, not unlike her tiara{\textquoteright}d counterpart{\textellipsis}.It has nearly everything you might want in a page-turner: tales of S\&amp;M, skeletons in the closet, a believe-it-or-not weirdness in its biographical details, and something else that secretly powers even the most {\textquotedblleft}serious{\textquotedblright} feminist history{\textemdash}fun.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Entertainment Weekly\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}An origin story far deeper, weirder, and kinkier than anything a cartoonist ever invented.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Vulture\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}Lepore restores Wonder Woman to her rightful place as an essential women{\textquoteright}s rights icon in this dynamically researched and interpreted, spectacularly illustrated, downright astounding work of discovery that injects new zest into the history of feminism.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Booklist (*starred review*)
{\textquotedblleft}The fullest and most fascinating portrait ever created about the complicated, unconventional family that inspired one of the most enduring feminist icons in pop culture{\textellipsis}. The Secret History of Wonder Woman is its own magic lasso, one that compels history to finally tell the truth about Wonder Woman{\textemdash}and compels the rest of us to behold it.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Los Angeles Times
{\textquotedblleft}The Secret History of Wonder\&nbsp;Woman\&nbsp;is as racy, as improbable, as awesomely\&nbsp;righteous, and as filled with\&nbsp;curious devices as an episode of the comic book itself. In the nexus of feminism and\&nbsp;popular culture, Jill Lepore has found a revelatory chapter of American\&nbsp;history.\&nbsp;I will never look at\&nbsp;Wonder Woman{\textquoteright}s bracelets the same way again.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home\&nbsp;
"Hugely entertaining." --The Atlantic
{\textquotedblleft}Lepore has an astonishing story and tells it extremely well. She acts as a sort of lie detector, but proceeds through elegant narrative rather than binary test. Sentences are poised, adverbs rare. Each chapter is carefully shaped. At a time when few are disposed to see history as a branch of literature, Lepore occupies a prominent place in American letters. Her microhistories weave compelling lives into larger stories.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}The Daily Beast\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}In the spirited, thoroughly reported "The Secret History of Wonder Woman," Jill Lepore recounts the fascinating details behind the Amazonian princess{\textquoteright} origin story{\textellipsis}.[Lepore]seamlessly shifts from the micro to the macro{\textellipsis}.A panel depicting this labor unrest is just one of scores that appear throughout Lepore{\textquoteright}s book, further amplifying the author{\textquoteright}s vivid prose.{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}Newsday\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}A Harvard professor with impeccable scholarly credentials, Lepore treats her subject seriously, as if she is writing the biography of a feminist pioneer like Margaret Sanger, the founder of the birth control movement {\textemdash} which this book is, to an extent{\textellipsis}.Through extensive research and a careful reading of the Wonder Woman comic books, she argues convincingly that the story of this character is an indelible chapter in the history of women{\textquoteright}s rights.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}Miami Herald\&nbsp;},

She delivers two marvels at once: an authentic eighteenth- century female voice, cheerful, inquisitive, and saucy, as well as an intimate portrait of Jane Franklin{\textquoteright}s revered brother himself.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}STACY SCHIFF, author of Cleopatra
{\textquotedblleft}An ardently told life story, brimming with love and loss against a background of political strife and war. Jill Lepore opens a smeared casement on the life of Jane, Benjamin Franklin{\textquoteright}s gifted sister, confidante, and lifelong correspondent. While Benjamin was able to forge a path to greatness from his obscure beginnings, Jane, trapped by gender, starved of education, was not. The contrast between the two destinies is by turns captivating, enraging, and profoundly moving. As Lepore sheds light on this one unsung life, she brilliantly illuminates an entire era.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}GERALDINE BROOKS, author of March
{\textquotedblleft}This poetic and powerful diptych takes readers on a fascinating journey. With consummate skill, Lepore moves us beyond the story of a famous brother and his woebegone sister, instead bringing both Benny and Jenny{\textemdash}and the relationship between them{\textemdash}to life. A book to ponder and prose to savor.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}LAUREL THATCHER ULRICH, author of A Midwife{\textquoteright}s Tale
{\textquotedblleft}With careful and ingenious research, Jill Lepore uncovers the surprising life of the obscure sister to a very famous man. This eloquent book reveals two remarkable siblings and their intertwined and revolutionary lives.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}ALAN TAYLOR, author of The Civil War of 1812
{\textquotedblleft}This is a brilliant and delightful book! By weaving together the tales of Benjamin Franklin and his beloved little sister, Jill Lepore creates a richly textured tapestry of life in early America. deeply researched and passionately written, it brings us inside a poignant relationship between two lovable people who seemed so different but were also so connected. i devoured this book and will treasure it.{\textquotedblright} {\textemdash}WALTER ISAACSON, author of Steve Jobs},

From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians, a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin{\textquoteright}s youngest sister and a history of history itself. Like her brother, Jane Franklin was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. Unlike him, she was a mother of twelve. Benjamin Franklin, who wrote more letters to his sister than he wrote to anyone else, was the original American self-made man; his sister spent her life caring for her children. They left very different traces behind. Making use of an amazing cache of little- studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one woman but an entire world{\textemdash}a world usually lost to history. Lepore{\textquoteright}s life of Jane Franklin, with its strikingly original vantage on her remarkable brother, is at once a wholly different account of the founding of the United States and one of the great untold stories of American history and letters: a life unknown.},

	note = {"As both a Jeremiah and a troubadour, Jill Lepore has one of the most distinctive voices in American literary life.  So skilled in the art of the essay, she has a sense of narrative that is breathtaking.  She tells resounding, surprising stories about real people forging American roots and development, but always through a deeply documented history.  Both subtly and explosively, Lepore brings the power of history right into your lap and makes you shudder at just how deeply tangled past and present really are."--David W. Blight, author of American Oracle: The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era
{\textquotedblleft}Jill Lepore is one of America{\textquoteright}s most interesting scholars {\textemdash} a distinguished historian and a brilliant essayist.   This prolific collection of  articles and essays is a remarkable body of work that moves from early America to our present, contentious age.{\textquotedblright} -- Alan Brinkley, author of The Publisher: Henry Luce and His American Century

"Jill Lepore is one of our finest historians of the battle over the story called {\textquoteright}America{\textquoteright} which, as she says, is constantly being fought over and over.   In this stunning collection of essays, Lepore makes the case that the rise of democracy is  bound up with the history of its reading and writing.   That history is conflicted, ragged, and contradictory but, in Lepore{\textquoteright}s capable hands, as gripping and compelling as a novel."--Cathy N. Davidson, Duke University

In The Story of America, Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore investigates American origin stories{\textemdash}from John Smith{\textquoteright}s account of the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to Barack Obama{\textquoteright}s 2009 inaugural address{\textemdash}to show how American democracy is bound up with the history of print. Over the centuries, Americans have read and written their way into a political culture of ink and type.
Part civics primer, part cultural history, The Story of America excavates the origins of everything from the paper ballot and the Constitution to the I.O.U. and the dictionary. Along the way it presents fresh readings of Benjamin Franklin{\textquoteright}s Way to Wealth; Thomas Paine{\textquoteright}s Common Sense; {\textquotedblleft}The Raven,{\textquotedblright} by Edgar Allan Poe; and {\textquotedblleft}Paul Revere{\textquoteright}s Ride,{\textquotedblright} by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; as well as histories of lesser-known genres, including biographies of presidents, novels of immigrants, and accounts of the Depression. From past to present, Lepore argues, Americans have wrestled with the idea of democracy by telling stories. In this thoughtful and provocative book, Lepore offers at once a history of origin stories and a meditation on storytelling itself.

{\textquotedblleft}Come expecting to be entertained, educated, and given several helpful new ways to think about the stages of life and what lies beyond{\textellipsis}Lepore has mastered the neat trick of writing imaginatively and often humorously for a general audience without checking her scholarly swing{\textellipsis}she gets you thinking like she does, and you can ask no more from a historian.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}The Daily Beast
{\textquotedblleft}Lepore has a brilliant way of selecting just the right historical detail to illuminate a larger point{\textellipsis}The most valuable lesson here is that of impermanence. Everything changes. And although, as Lepore writes, {\textquoteleft}it{\textquoteright}s best to have a plan,{\textquoteright} as her multifaceted, sometimes dizzying joyride of a book reveals, the next roll of dice could, in fact, change everything.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}Boston Sunday Globe
{\textquotedblleft}[Lepore] manages to spin a larger narrative that both fascinates and informs, showing that our taken-for-granted ideas about every stage of life are culturally specific, very much a product of our times.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}The Washington Post
{\textquotedblleft}Brilliantly written and engaging throughout. . . . A sharp, illuminating history of ideas. . . . A superb examination of the never-ending effort to enhance life, as well as the commensurate refusal to ever let it go.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
{\textquotedblleft}One of the pleasures of Lepore{\textquoteright}s work is the way she uses a single, deftly chosen artifact to crack open a much wider cultural vista{\textellipsis}If the bonds between the disparate subjects and motifs in The Mansion of Happiness sometimes seem to be sustained by Lepore{\textquoteright}s own personal version of extraordinary measures, there are plenty that hold firm. They can{\textquoteright}t be disputed or endorsed like traditional theories, but they can dazzle and illuminate and inspire. And that{\textquoteright}s just what they do.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}Salon
{\textquotedblleft}Each sentence brims, each paragraph delights. Taken together these essays are more than the sum of their parts. They are an inquiry into how we think about being alive.{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}Smithsonian
"Written with sardonic wit and penetrating intelligence, The Mansion of Happiness is a fascinating and startlingly original guide to the ways in which the human life-cycle has been imagined, manipulated, managed, marketed, and debased in modern times. Lepore weaves her way brilliantly along the mazy track that leads from the egg in which life{\textquoteright}s game begins to the giant freezers in which certain crack-brained visionaries hope to defeat death itself. A fast-paced, hilarious, angry, poignant, and richly illuminating book."--Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern
"Equip a profound scholar with H. L. Mencken{\textquoteright}s instinct for running down charlatans and chuckleheads, and you get this book It will amuse and embarrass those of us ever befuddled by the rogues in her gallery."--Garry Wills, author of Lincoln at Gettysburg
"A series of engaging and wonderfully perceptive essays on how individuals caught in time made sense of life and death. Jill Lepore is one of America{\textquoteright}s most accomplished and imaginative historians."--Linda Colley, author of The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh
"With wit and erudition, Lepore demonstrates that nothing is more mutable and time-bound than our most cherished notions about the supposedly eternal verities of life and death."---Susan Jacoby, author of The Age of American Unreason

Renowned Harvard scholar and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore has written a strikingly original, ingeniously conceived and beautifully crafted history of American ideas about life and death from before the cradle to beyond the grave.
How does life begin? What does it mean? What happens when we die? {\textquotedblleft}All anyone can do is ask,{\textquotedblright} Lepore writes. {\textquotedblleft}That{\textquoteright}s why any history of ideas about life and death has to be, like this book, a history of curiosity.{\textquotedblright} Lepore starts that history with the story of a seventeenth-century Englishman who had the idea that all life begins with an egg, and ends it with an American who, in the 1970s, began freezing the dead. In between, life got longer, the stages of life multiplied, and matters of life and death moved from the library to the laboratory, from the humanities to the sciences. Lately, debates about life and death have determined the course of American politics. Each of these debates has a history. Investigating the surprising origins of the stuff of everyday life{\textemdash}from board games to breast pumps{\textemdash}Lepore argues that the age of discovery, Darwin, and the Space Age turned ideas about life on earth topsy-turvy. {\textquotedblleft}New worlds were found,{\textquotedblright} she writes, and {\textquotedblleft}old paradises were lost.{\textquotedblright} As much a meditation on the present as an excavation of the past, The Mansion of Happiness is delightful, learned, and altogether beguiling.},

There{\textquoteright}s less of 1776 about it than of 1976 {\textemdash} that dyspeptic post-Vietnam, post-Watergate bicentennial moment remembered for Gerald Ford and school busing fights in Boston elsewhere. 1976 marks a time when we discovered that the story of the American revolution is that {\textquotedblleft}there is no story,{\textquotedblright} as the Common Ground journalist Anthony Lukas put it. {\textquotedblleft}What there is is a political free-for-all about the story.{\textquotedblright}

{\textquotedblleft}That{\textquoteright}s where we are today,{\textquotedblright} Jill Lepore observes. {\textquotedblleft}The whole question: {\textquoteleft}what would the founding fathers do?{\textquoteright} comes out of evangelical Chistianity, as in {\textquoteleft}what would Jesus do?{\textquoteright} {\textellipsis} Glenn Beck talks about having had a conversion experience{\textellipsis} The Tea Party movement presents the Constitution as a revealed religion.{\textquotedblright}

Jill Lepore is one of those historians who draws gladly on {\textquotedblleft}the archives of the feet,{\textquotedblright} in Simon Schama{\textquoteright}s phrase. For her sprightly New Yorker Magazine pieces and now for The Whites of Their Eyes, her hard-cover take on the Tea Party movement, she has been out among the tri-corner hat crowd at the Green Dragon Tavern facing Faneuil Hall. She was with Sarah Palin on Boston Common. She extends civic respect to the pitchfork patriots, but her judgment is unsparing: the tea partiers are misled by heritage tourism and pop biographies of the 18th Century revolutionists into supposing {\textquotedblleft}I{\textquoteright}m just like them,{\textquotedblright} or that {\textquotedblleft}I{\textquoteright}m in touch with them {\textquoteright}cause I{\textquoteright}m wearing one of their hats.{\textquotedblright} Their founding favorites draw on celebrity culture, not history: there{\textquoteright}s too little in their heads about the crucial anti-religious Thomas Paine of {\textquotedblleft}The Age of Reason,{\textquotedblright} and too much Paul Revere (not much known for the Midnight Ride before Longfellow wrote the poem in 1861, a Union rallying myth during the Civil War).

	abstract = {AMERICAN CHRONICLES about Robert C. W. Ettinger, a founder of the cryonics movement. Robert C. W. Ettinger is ninety-one years old and he is a founder of the cryonics movement. When he dies, the blood will be drained from his body, antifreeze will be pumped into his arteries, and holes will be drilled in his skull, after which he will be stored in a vat of liquid nitrogen at minus three hundred and twenty degrees Fahrenheit. He expects to be defrosted, sometime between fifty and two hundred years from now, by scientists who will make him young and strong and tireless. Ettinger has already frozen his mother and his two wives, along with ninety-two other people who await resurrection inside giant freezers in a building just a few blocks from his house, in Clinton Township, Michigan. The Cryonics Institute occupies a seven-thousand-square-foot warehouse in an industrial park. Past a shabby waiting room is the small office of Andy Zawacki, who constitutes half of C.I.{\textquoteright}s full-time staff. He is also one of C.I.{\textquoteright}s more than eight hundred members, which means that he plans to be frozen when he dies. The writer visited the freezer storage area. There were fourteen cylindrical freezers. Each held six patients, and all but four were filled. There were also three older, rectangular freezers. The writer asked if the corpses were put in canisters within the cylinders. {\textquotedblleft}No, in sleeping bags,{\textquotedblright} Ettinger said. Ettinger was born in Atlantic City in December of 1918. His mother{\textquoteright}s family came from Odessa; his father was born in Germany. In about 1922, the family moved to Detroit. When he was eight years old, Ettinger started reading Amazing Stories, a sci-fi magazine. Ettinger dates his interest in immortality to 1931, when he read {\textquotedblleft}The Jameson Satellite.{\textquotedblright} Mentions Ted Williams{\textquoteright}s head, which was frozen and stored at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, C.I.{\textquoteright}s chief rival. {\textquotedblleft}Neuropreservation{\textquotedblright} has a scientific attitude, but that doesn{\textquoteright}t make it science. Credentialled laboratory scientists don{\textquoteright}t generally think the dead will one day awaken. The consensus appears to be that when you try to defrost a frozen corpse you get mush. And even if, in the future, scientists could repair the damage done to cells by freezing and thawing, what they would have, at best, is a cadaver. Ettinger announced the dawn of what he called the Freezer Era at the height of the Cold War. His book, {\textquotedblleft}The Prospect of Immortality,{\textquotedblright} appeared in 1964, the year {\textquotedblleft}Dr. Strangelove{\textquotedblright} hit theatres. When the book came out, Ettinger became something of a star. The first human being was frozen in 1966; it went badly, and the body had to be buried a few months later. The following year, a man was frozen by an organization that later became the Cryonics Society of California. Ettinger{\textquoteright}s father and brother were not frozen; they {\textquotedblleft}were lost.{\textquotedblright} His first patient was his mother, Rhea, whom he froze in 1977. His second patient was his first wife, Elaine, who died in 1987. He remarried the following year. His second wife, Mae, suffered a stroke in 2000, and she was frozen as well. Ettinger finds nothing so uninteresting as history. Describes the writer and Ettinger going through his family photo albums.},

Blindspot was undertaken as an experiment, something of an email joke, by ranking professionals who{\textquoteright}ve been friends since grad school (Yale): Jane Kamensky, now at Brandeis, and Jill Lepore, of Harvard and The New Yorker magazine.

Told in letters and journals, Blindspot, set in 1764, is a borderline kinky love story about a Scots portrait painter (think: Gilbert Stuart) who{\textquoteright}s fled his London debts to Boston, and a passionate, downwardly-mobile 19-year-old daughter of the Boston ruling class who presents herself as a boy so as to get a job as the painter{\textquoteright}s assistant.

	abstract = {New York Times Book Review Editors{\textquoteright} Choice.     Blindspot is a twenty-first century novel in eighteenth-century garb.  It plays with the conventions of eighteenth-century novels, newspapers, portraits, and histories.  Novels look for a different kind of truth than history books, and while Blindspot is fiction, it relies on our work as historians, on every page.  Much that happens in the novel is based on actual events and adapted from archival evidence chronicling both ordinary life and extraordinary transformations.  The American Revolution.  The Enlightenment.  The eighteenth century{\textquoteright}s bawdiness, its anticlericalism, its obsessions with wit and sham and rank and pleasure.  A few of Blindspot{\textquoteright}s characters were inspired by real people; many of its buildings are based on buildings that still stand; its portraits resemble paintings that now hang on the walls of American museums.  A sizable number of very short passages in the text are taken nearly verbatim from eighteenth-century letters, newspapers, account books, diaries, sermons, novels, poems, riddles, philosophical treatises, and legal records.  We quoted, we borrowed, we took liberties.  But we also kept faith with the past.  --Jane Kamensky and Jill Lepore

 {\textquotedblleft}[Lepore] is a terrific storyteller, alert to trenchant details but also able to convey the
connections between events, the sweep of an epoch.{\textquotedblright}--The New York Times Book Review

	abstract = {What ties Americans to one another? What unifies a nation of citizens with different racial, religious and ethnic backgrounds? These were the dilemmas faced by Americans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as they sought ways to bind the newly United States together.  In A is for American, award-winning historian Jill Lepore portrays seven men who turned to language to help shape a new nation{\textquoteright}s character and boundaries. From Noah Webster{\textquoteright}s attempts to standardize American spelling, to Alexander Graham Bell{\textquoteright}s use of {\textquotedblleft}Visible Speech{\textquotedblright} to help teach the deaf to talk, to Sequoyah{\textquoteright}s development of a Cherokee syllabary as a means of preserving his people{\textquoteright}s independence, these stories form a compelling portrait of a developing nation{\textquoteright}s struggles. Lepore brilliantly explores the personalities, work, and influence of these figures, seven men driven by radically different aims and temperaments. Through these superbly told stories, she chronicles the challenges faced by a young country trying to unify its diverse people. },

	abstract = {A collection of primary sources documenting the early clash of cultures in the Americas, Encounters in the New World spans the years from Columbus{\textquoteright}s voyage in 1492 to the publication of the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, a former slave, in 1789. Emotional eyewitness accounts--memoirs, petitions, diaries, captivity narratives, private correspondence--as well as formal documents, official reports, and journalistic reportage give body and texture to the historical events described. A special 16-page color cartographic section, including maps from both Europe and North America, is fascinating not only for the maps{\textquoteright} telltale imperfections, but also because they convey information about how their creators saw themselves and the world around them. A Jesuit priest{\textquoteright}s chronicle of life among his Iroquois captors, Aztec records of forbidding omens, excerpts from Columbus{\textquoteright}s ship{\textquoteright}s log, John Smith{\textquoteright}s account of cannibalism among the British residents of Jamestown, slave auction advertisements, memoirs by several members of Cortes{\textquoteright}s expedition, the reminiscences of an escaped slave-these are just a few examples of the wealth of primary sources collected here. Jill Lepore, winner of the distinguished Bancroft Prize for history in 1999, provides informed, expert commentary linking the documents into a fascinating and seamless narrative.  Textbooks may interpret history, but the books in the Pages from History series are history. Each title, compiled and edited by a prominent historian, is a collection of primary sources relating to a particular topic of historical significance. Documentary evidence including news articles, government documents, memoirs, letters, diaries, fiction, photographs, and facsimiles allows history to speak for itself and turns every reader into a historian. Headnotes, extended captions, sidebars, and introductory essays provide the essential context that frames the documents. All the books are amply illustrated and each spans the years froincludes a documentary picture essay, chronology, further reading, source notes, and index.},

Some even argued that the massacres and outrages on both sides were too horrific to "deserve the name of a war."  Telling the story of what may have been the bitterest of American conflicts, and its reverberations over the centuries, Lepore has enabled us to see how the ways in which we remember past events are as important in their effect on our history as were the events themselves.
