ⓘ About Sarah Vowell
Sarah Vowell is best known as an entertainment and non-fiction novelist whose works on culture and American history have been New York Times bestsellers. Still, she has lived most of her life equally spread between New York City, Montana, and Oklahoma with a little time in the likes of San Francisco and Chicago.

Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Collections series, Sarah Vowell has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
