Book Synopsis Melancholy Accidents by : Peter Manseau
Book excerpt: Shocked by the epidemic of gun violence in America, acclaimed writer Peter Manseau found himself absorbed by the 'melancholy accidents' that appeared in 19th century newspapers: daily accounts of accidental gun deaths that seemed as unfortunate as they were unavoidable. In Melancholy Accidents, Manseau collects, annotates and introduces many of these articles, painting a devastating portrait of America's long, bloody relationship with firearms.
