Thomas Frank

Frank, editor of the excellent The Baffler and most recently the author of What's the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America, was interviewed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. The segment is entertaining--as is anything involving Stewart--though Frank's dialogue comes across as a bit mechanical, as if he's thoroughly rehearsed his spiel for making the rounds of the talk show circuit.

I'm definitely adding this book to The List.
