Viaje al sueño americano

Bill Bryson has the rare ability to feel out of place wherever he goes, even (perhaps especially) in his homeland. This character trait of his became very apparent when, after nearly two decades in England, the world's most beloved travel writer came face to face with Mrs Bryson, little Jimmy et al. and all together they moved to live in the country from which he had left in his youth. Of course, there were things Bryson missed about Britain, but any sense of loss was offset by the joy of rediscovering some of the forgotten treasures of his childhood, like the glories of a New England autumn or the pleasantly comical view of oneself. in shorts. Whether facing the bizarre allure of pizza for breakfast or the terrifying, jaw-dropping American television, Bill Bryson develops his inimitable brand of perplexed wit to endure that strangest of phenomena: the American way of life.
