Dear Marty, We Crapped in Our Nest

Notes from the Edge of the World

From Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Cullen

It's not the end of the world, but you could see it from here. Corn and soybeans, row upon row, with windmills and hoghouses lining the vast horizon. Repetition is the key to advertising or propaganda. Immigrants are bad. Poison. Criminals. Diseased. Depraved. You forget your own story in the flood of lies about who we are. They take on a veneer of truth when the cable news reminds you 24/7 that aliens are overwhelming us.

Don't miss your chance to see author Art Cullen as part of the Des Moines Book Festival on Saturday, May 2 at the Franklin Event Center!
