"Diner, the inspired historian, has found her way to a particular intersaction that no one else has located quite so precisely... the exact place where cultural identity, historical myth and geographical location run together, in a tangle of traffic and honking horns, a strangely emotional place." - Paul Berman, New York Times Book Review "[An] inventive and often startling reevaluation of popular belief.... Diner's research and conclusions are both convincing and original." - Publishers Weekly
