Reviews
"Delusions and Grandeur is about what it means to be a man in the West--but if that conjures images of steely-eyed cowboys and oilmen, put those out of your mind. What struck me most is just how gorgeously tenderhearted, vulnerable, and emotionally engaged these essays and their characters are. If a smallish group of men have been the main perpetrators of the destruction of our planet, a larger group, including many of those in this fine book, have been their victims--and survivors."--Vauhini Vara, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Immortal King Rao, "This is the Intermountain West that I know very well: a place where awesome natural beauty butts up hard against the bare decrepitude of Western civilization. As Charles Bowden wrote in Blue Desert, 'Here the land always makes promises of aching beauty and the people always fail the land.' The people of these stories are trying to live up to the land, but they can't quite get their shit together. Thanks to Mark Sundeen for being honest about their, and our, failures."--Scott Carrier, Peabody Award winner and author of Running After Antelope, "Delusions and Grandeur is about what it means to be a man in the west--but if that conjures images of steely-eyed cowboys and oilmen, put those out of your mind. What struck me most is just how gorgeously tenderhearted, vulnerable, and emotionally engaged these essays and their characters are. If a smallish group of men have been the main perpetrators of the destruction of our planet, a larger group, including many of those in this fine book, have been their victims--and survivors."--Vauhini Vara, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Immortal King Rao, "This is the West as seen through the eyes of ordinary people with extraordinary connections who have explored politics, literature, environment, and the act of being human. Sundeen has an uncanny knack for finding himself in the thick of things. Once there, he dives deep and reports back with an unerring eye. As a writer, I'm exhausted imagining what he went through to get these stories, but as a reader I'm carried along and come away feeling like I've been everywhere."--Craig Childs, author of Tracing Time: Seasons of Rock Art on the Colorado Plateau, " Delusions and Grandeur is about what it means to be a man in the west--but if that conjures images of steely-eyed cowboys and oilmen, put those out of your mind.

Each essay in this collection is a prism through which the desire to escape the world looks suspiciously like the desire to find one's place in it. This is a coming-of-age book in the least-cheesy sense of the term."--Sierra Crane Murdoch, Pultizer Prize finalist and author of Yellow Bird: Oil, Murder, and a Woman's Search for Justice in Indian Country, "A riveting and powerful collection of essays that asks the reader to reconsider the connection between landscape, culture, and the past, Mark Sundeen's latest book arises from a lifetime of experience not only in western places but with those who build their lives amid the boom and bust born from a region marked as much by beauty as a lack of it. It's the people that matter to Sundeen, those passing through, those staying on, those leaving, longing, coming, touring, hawking, and forever hoping. Long disabused of any romantic notion of what it means to live in the West, Sundeen stands beside all those who populate his essays, bewildered, angry, but never without wonder roped to tenderness. Delusions and Grandeur frames a window through which we see how we far we have traveled, why we have arrived at this moment, and how much farther we still must go."--Jennifer Sinor, author of Sky Songs: Meditations on Loving a Broken World, "Mark Sundeen is a brilliant, funny, poetic guide through the landscapes of the American West, attuned to the dangers of white masculinity while disarmingly gentle in his critique. Each essay in this collection is a prism through which the desire to escape the world looks suspiciously like the desire to find one's place in it. This is a coming-of-age book in the least-cheesy sense of the term."--Sierra Crane Murdoch, author of Yellow Bird: Oil, Murder, and a Woman's Search for Justice in Indian Country, "If we are to wake from the fever dream known as the American West, we'll need truth tellers like Mark Sundeen--good white men who dare to dwell in vulnerability and seek the same address for their stories' characters. Here, the hazy projection of Eden is cleared off again and again. All post-colonial entitlements are blown away like tumbleweed in the wind. But don't let Sundeen's unblinking gaze at our rootlessness scare you off. In eloquent prose, equal parts humor and humility, the man shows us the way home, back to our mislaid souls."--Amy Irvine, author of Trespass: Living at the Edge of the Promised Land

Synopsis
In these new and selected essays, Mark Sundeen recounts two decades of political activism, outdoor exploration, and empathetic curiosity. He was both witness to and active participant in pivotal cultural and political events of the new millennium, from Howard Dean's presidential campaign to the Iraq War protests and the NoDAPL uprising in Standing Rock. But what brings these large phenomena into humanistic focus is the cast of idiosyncratic people he meets. Using first-person reportage, well-crafted storytelling, and wry, self-deprecating humor, Sundeen's keen observations illustrate what everyday life is like for people in the contemporary American West, with all their systemic precarities and individual triumphs.
