520    "Narrator David Colacci approaches this opinionated, 
       engrossing audiobook with a practiced voice that lets its 
       numerous stories tell themselves without fanfare...this 
       audiobook is a monumental work." -- AudioFile Magazine  In
       his follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize-winning The 
       Metaphysical Club, Louis Menand offers a new intellectual 
       and cultural history of the postwar years. The Cold War 
       was not just a contest of power. It was also about ideas, 
       in the broadest sense-economic and political, artistic and
       personal. In The Free World, the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-
       winning scholar and critic Louis Menand tells the story of
       American culture in the pivotal years from the end of 
       World War II to Vietnam and shows how changing economic, 
       technological, and social forces put their mark on 
       creations of the mind. How did elitism and an anti-
       totalitarian skepticism of passion and ideology give way 
       to a new sensibility defined by freewheeling 
       experimentation and loving the Beatles? How was the ideal 
       of "freedom" applied to causes that ranged from anti-
       communism and civil rights to radical acts of self-
       creation via art and even crime? With the wit and insight 
       familiar to readers of The Metaphysical Club and his New 
       Yorker essays, Menand takes us inside Hannah Arendt's 
       Manhattan, the Paris of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de 
       Beauvoir, Merce Cunningham and John Cage's residencies at 
       North Carolina's Black Mountain College, and the Memphis 
       studio where Sam Phillips and Elvis Presley created a new 
       music for the American teenager. He examines the post war 
       vogue for French existentialism, structuralism and post-
       structuralism, the rise of abstract expressionism and pop 
       art, Allen Ginsberg's friendship with Lionel Trilling, 
       James Baldwin's transformation into a Civil Right 
       spokesman, Susan Sontag's challenges to the New York 
       Intellectuals, the defeat of obscenity laws, and the rise 
       of the New Hollywood. Stressing the rich flow of ideas 
       across the Atlantic, he also shows how Europeans played a 
       vital role in promoting and influencing American art and 
       entertainment. By the end of the Vietnam era, the American
       government had lost the moral prestige it enjoyed at the 
       end of the Second World War, but America's once-despised 
       culture had become respected and adored. With 
       unprecedented verve and range, this book explains how that
       happened.  A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, 
       Straus and Giroux
