The Call of the Weird: Travels in American Subcultures Audiobook (Free)

For ten years Louis Theroux has been making programs about off-beat heroes over the fringes of US society. Today he revisits America as well as the people who have most fascinated him to attempt to uncover what motivates them, why they believe the things they believe, also to uncover what has happened to them since he last saw them. Along the way Louis considers what drives him to invest so much time among strange people, and considers whether he’s discovered anything about himself throughout ten years working with them. Provides he manipulated individuals he’s interviewed, or have they manipulated him? From his NEVADA bottom, Louis revisits the assorted dreamers and outlaws who’ve been his Television feeding ground. Wanting to understand a little about himself as well as the workings of his very own mind, Louis considers queries such as for example: What is the difference between pathology and ‘regular’ weirdness? Will there be something particularly strange about Americans? What does it mean to be strange, or ‘to become yourself’? And do we choose our beliefs or perform our beliefs select us?
