An Englishman’s View Of America
On his quirky journey through the language, geography and national character of the United States, Terry Eagleton proves to be an informal and utterly idiosyncratic guide. He answers the questions we (being British) dare not ask, like why Americans willingly rise at the crack of dawn, even on Sundays or why they publicly chastise cigarette smokers as if they’re all spokespeople for the surgeon general. In this pithy, warm-hearted and very funny book, Eagleton melds a good old-fashioned roast with genuine admiration for his neighbours "across the pond".
