His previous, The Middle Mind: Why Americans Don’t Think for Themselves, was widely acclaimed. His other books include America’s Magic Mountain, Monstrous Possibility, Requiem, Memories of My Father Watching TV, and The Idea of Home. White’s essays have appeared in many publications, including Orion, Harper’s Magazine and The Village Voice. He is a distinguished professor of English at Illinois State University.
