Sábado noche

Why do we like Saturday nights so much? Before becoming the successful writer of The Orchid Thief and The Burning Library, Susan Orlean asked herself that very question. So she embarked on a trip across the United States that took her to meet and share her weekend with the most varied of the American territory: from wealthy teenagers in Los Angeles to homeless in New York, polka dancers in Maryland or university students. from Boston. A mosaic of voices to define that night of the week in which we put what we want to do before what we should do. On Saturday Night, Susan Orlean once again displays her ability to narrate reality with exceptional magnetism. The result is a captivating portrait of the people, places and customs of the United States of the last decades.
