A collection of essays
Mr. Wright penned for Rolling Stone Magazine, Hella Nation is a riotous journey of all things fringe and weird in society. One minute, Mr. Wright is imbedded in Afghanistan, chronicling the thoroughly American troops fighting a deeply un-American war; the next he's chronicling a skate boarding sensation whose true sport is drunkenness, the environmental activists who contributed to the
WHO riots in 1999, the revival of the 1920s dance hall with a few twists, and the kinky relationship one upstanding San Francisco couple had with an imprisoned white supremacist whose bestial dog, while in the couple's care, savagely murdered their neighbor. No matter where he is, or who his subject is, the erratic, fascinating, and likely ADD Mr. Wright entertains with his dry style and eye for character which seldom fail him, casting those he portrays in a bizarre but somehow earnest light. (4/5 Stars)
