Summary:
"On his quirky journey through the language, geography, and national character of the
United
States
,
Eagleton
proves to be at once an informal and utterly idiosyncratic guide to our peculiar race. He answers the questions his compatriots have always had but (being British) dare not ask, like why Americans willingly rise at the crack of dawn, even on Sundays, or why we publicly chastise cigarette smokers as if we’re all spokespeople for the surgeon general. In this pithy, warmhearted, and very funny book,
Eagleton
melds a good old-fashioned roast with genuine admiration for his neighbors 'across the pond.'"--From publisher.
