T. Cooper and Adam Mansbach read from their jointly edited A Fictional History of the United States (with Huge Chunks Missing),which features the writings of an eclectic array of celebrated authors and cartoonists presented in a patchwork of historical anecdotes ranging from the Chinese discovery of America in 1426 to the new McCarthyism of a post-9/11 world. Cooper is the author of the novels Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes and Some of the Parts. Mansbach is the author of the novels Angry Black White Boy and Shackling Water, and the poetry collection genius b-boy cynics getting weeded in the garden of delights.
