Description

A skewering of the American underbelly by the New York Times bestselling writer of Seven Deadly Sins, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, and You’re Making Me Hate You

The at all times-outspoken hard rock vocalist Corey Taylor begins America 51 with a reflection on what his itinerant youth and frequent around the globe travels with his multiplatinum bands Slipknot and Stone Sour have taught him about what it means to be an American in an increasingly more unstable world. He examines the way The us sees itself, specifically with regard to the propaganda surrounding The us’s origins (like a heavy-metal Howard Zinn), at the same time as also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true-blue American. Taylor likewise takes a look at how the world views us, and his findings will have to come as a surprise to no one. But at the back of Taylor’s ranting and raving is a thoughtful and intelligent consideration, and even a sadness, of what The us is compared to what it could and will have to be.

Expertly balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor examines the rotting core of The us, evaluating everything from politics and race relations to modern family dynamics, millennials, and “man buns.” No element of what constitutes The us is secure from his adept and scathing eye. Continuing the wave of moral outrage begun in You’re Making Me Hate You, Taylor flawlessly skewers latest The us in his own signature style.
