5/26/2023 0 Comments Fast food nation introduction+The workers of the top-secret Air Force base Cheyenne Mountain have Domino’s delivered. :) And with that, I’ll be discussing the Introduction this week. I’m hoping to make the posts a center for thoughtful discussion about the issue, but if that doesn’t happen at least I know I’m getting the word out. I’ve decided to make Tuesdays my Fast Food Nation day the book has ten chapters, an introduction, an epilogue, and an afterword, so this feature will go into December. She discusses a non-fiction book chapter-by-chapter, providing notes and her personal reaction (currently, she’s working through Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters by Courtney Martin). The topics discussed in this book are very important to me (and it was even more fun to read about Colorado Springs, as a newcomer to the town!), so I’ve decided to follow Dewey’s model. How, then, to review it? I suddenly realised that this book needs more than a review: it needs an audience. It raises essential issues, deftly introduces the evidence, and allows the reader to evaluate everything in bright light. This book shows why non-fiction is so important. I knew that I couldn’t praise it high enough the engaging writing style, the important information, the humane objectivity to be found in this book is, quite simply, amazing. I finished Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser on Friday night, and I immediately began thinking about my review.
