Sorry, really had a rough time with this one -- I love history and am fascinated by America in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but the last thing I want to read is another self-centered white guy memoir so this just wasn't for me.

From Litsy:
Bill Morris's book American Berserk is the perfect read for fans of books about journalism. There are interesting stories about Mennonites living in a soap opera, a petty criminal who keeps escaping prison turned cop killer, and a self-proclaimed psychic who helped solve a gruesome cold case. Bill Morris is at times prone to navel gazing, but his love for reporting the "Little People" and musings about memory is an excellent work of non-fiction.
P.S. The beginning of the book is when Bill Morris is at peak navel gazing, and I almost DNFed right there, not wishing to read some pseudo-spiritual piece of self-congratulation. But one you get past that rough patch, it's really good.

Goodreads review provided in links.

Stories about the life of a reporter. The stories are interesting, the pictures are a very nice touch. The author holds your interest with the way he pulls you in about things he experienced and of course stories he wrote. Side note to Mr. Morris, I am sorry about Amos. Thanks to the publisher a,no Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book in return for my honest reveiw.
