Among New Journalists of the 1960s-1970s, Michael Herr, Norman Mailer, Hunter S. Thompson, and Joan Didion approached their subjects by placing themselves in the center of their narratives as protagonists and by openly acknowledging their subjective impressions of the events they reported. Unlike journalists who adopted the conventions of detachment and objectivity, these New Journalists employed their subjective, literary styles to construct their narrative personae and to dramatize not only the events like the Vietnam War and the 1972 presidential campaign but their direct participation in t

In Marriage, Violence and the Nation in the American Literary West, William R. Handley examines literary interpretations of the Western American past. Handley argues that although scholarship provides a narrative of western history that counters optimistic story of frontier individualism by focusing on the victims of conquest, twentieth-century American fiction tells a different story of intra-ethnic violence surrounding marriages and families. He examines works of historiography,as well as writing by Zane Grey, Willa Cather, Wallace Stegner and Joan Didion among others, to argue that these works highlight white Americans' anxiety about what happens to American 'character' when domestic enemies such as Indians and Mormon polygamists, against whom the nation had defined itself in the nineteenth century, no longer threaten its homes. Handley explains that once its enemies are gone, imperialism brings violence home in retrospective narratives that allegorise national pasts and futures through intimate relationships.

In deze nieuwe bundeling van verhalen over kunst, lezen en leven schrijft Zwagerman met het elan en de gedrevenheid die inmiddels zijn handelsmerk zijn geworden. Uitgangspunt voor Kennis is geluk is zijn tomeloze nieuwsgierigheid. Waarom spelen knuckleheads altijd een hoofdrol in de films van de Coen Brothers? Hoeveel soorten stilte bestaan er precies? Waarom maakt een kunstenaar een portret van Adolf Hitler als broze, breekbare man? Wie lijden er meer aan het leven in de serie Mad Men, de mannen of de vrouwen? Wat is het geheim van het licht in de schilderijen van Vermeer? Waarom huilen mensen sneller bij het luisteren naar muziek dan bij het bekijken van een kunstwerk? Zwagerman slaagt erin zijn lezers gelukkig te maken door zijn kennis niet te etaleren of droogjes over te brengen, maar doordat hij allerlei informatie onnadrukkelijk verbindt met zijn persoonlijke observaties, indrukken en herinneringen. Kennis is geluk.
