An Autographed Susan Orlean Cultural History of American Weekend Customs and Rituals

How does an entire nation unwind when the workweek ends? Acclaimed journalist Susan Orlean (author of The Orchid Thief) travels across the United States to capture the ritual of Saturday night in all its idiosyncratic, human glory.

From zydeco dance halls in Houston and nuclear missile silos in Wyoming to suburban shopping malls and college towns, Orlean profiles ordinary Americans seeking connection, release, and celebration. This special hardcover edition features the author's original signature.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Susan Orlean delivers trademark observational wit, warm human portraiture, and sharp cultural commentary. A collectible autographed volume for essay lovers, journalists, and fans of American social history.
