Author Harmon Leon on "The American Dream"

On the Dec 4 Radiozine, Host Michelle Schroeder Fletcher interviews journalist and social chameleon Harmon Leon, who is known for infiltrating and exposing the weird and wonderful subcultures of America. His most recent book is The American Dream, based on his roadtrip to uncover the humorous and contradictory ways in which people from all walks of life define themselves in relation to their country. Leon's pursuit takes him from the pot fields of Northern California to reality T.V. shows in Culver City and from swinging parties in the suburbs to Christian protests against fornicators in Kansas, offering a funny, satirical and poignant take on what it means to live in twenty-first century America.
