Hella Nation
''Hella Nation : Looking for Happy Meals in Kandahar, Rocking the Side Pipe, Wingnut's War against The Gap, and Other Adventures with the Totally Lost Tribes of America'' is a 2009 book written by journalist Evan Wright who previously wrote ''Generation Kill''.
''Hella Nation'' mostly chronicles different subcultures across America he encountered while working for ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Vanity Fair'' magazines. It also includes a chapter profiling soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division who Wright accompanied in the early days of the war in Afghanistan. All but one of the essays were previously published as magazine pieces, but the versions published in the book have been greatly expanded.
==Content and themes==
''Hella Nation'' presents Wright's portraits of a variety of American subcultures and oddball personalities, including tree-dwelling ecoterrorists, Aryan Nation skinheads, Internet con artists, porn stars, the rock band Mötley Crüe and a former William Morris Agency talent agent during his darkest hours. One critic compared the collection to the Joan Didion book ''Slouching Towards Bethlehem''.
The book includes an essay by Wright about his first experiences as a journalist while working as an adult film reviewer at ''Hustler'' magazine. Though many of the subjects covered in the book are disturbing, such as crime and pornography, Wright presents them as part "a comically macabre portrait of American life."
