	Review of American Literature: The Essential Glossary
		Entries include an item on alcoholism comprising of a list of American authors who were alcoholics and many entries on magazines and journals such as the Union Magazine of Literature and Art which, we are told, published contributions from authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Henry David Thoreau and very little other information.
		Of course, there are plenty of other books which trace American literature, so perhaps it is just as well that Matterson’s book highlights other, less easily recognisable aspects of the field; though how far this knowledge would stretch for commonly assigned A-level texts is debatable.
		Matterson makes no pretence to be providing an exhaustive list (the Vietnam War for example takes up two paragraphs) and his approach of intermingling historical data and literary definitions does reflect the intrinsic interdisciplinary nature of American Studies.

	Who are novelists voting for? - - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Authors cited a range of reasons, from a vote for Kerry "because I have a brain and so does he" (Amy Tan), to a vote for Bush because "we're at war, and electing a president who is committed to losing it seems to be the most foolish thing we could do" (Orson Scott Card).
		My conscience, at the time, dictated that American party politics were inherently corrupt, because of, e.g., our inability to pass meaningful campaign-finance reform.
		Here's what I've heard and read about: the intimidation of elderly fl voters, a successful attack on a decorated war veteran's bravery engineered by a team of cowards, and the mounting possibility that the American electorate, particularly the struggling working class, can in the end be duped by culture wars and evangelical hokum.
