Synopsis:

The author describes his return to America after two decades of living abroad and his disconcerting reunion with his homeland

Review: " Painfully funny and genuinely insightful...Bryson has never been wittier or more endearing."
--"San Francisco Chronicle"
" Wonderfully droll...Bryson is unparalleled in his ability to cut a culture off at the knees in a way that is so humorous and so affectionate that those being ridiculed are laughing too hard to take offense."
--"The Wall Street Journal"
" Bill Bryson makes writing look too easy."
--"USA Today"
" A cross between de Tocqueville and Dave Barry, Bryson writes about today's America in a way that's both trenchantly observant and pound-on-the-floor, snort-root-beer-out-of-your-nose funny."
--"San Francisco Examiner"
" Bill Bryson could write an essay about dryer lint or fever reducers and still make us laugh out loud."
--"Chicago Sun-Times"
