As the first installment of Weird America, in September and October, showed, our greatest renewable resource must be America's supply of indigenous idiosyncrasy. This four-part addendum takes us to the off-center heart of collecting, where we'll meet vinyl aficionados who never met an LP they didn't like; the keeper of the Black Hole, a repository of "nuclear waste"; an unusual poet who compiles his fears, and a kooky artist turning detritus into delirium. Not to be overlooked is Nitwit, winner of the Last Annual Weird America Fiction Award.
