On his quirky journey through the language, geography, and national character of the United States, Eagleton proves to be at once an utterly idiosyncratic guide to our peculiar race. He answers the questions his compatriots have always had, like why Americans willingly rise at the crack of dawn or why we publicly chastise cigarette smokers as if were all spokespeople for the surgeon general.

Rezension zu „Across the Pond - An Englishman's View of America “
"Terry Eagleton has a gift for the kind of generalizations that at first appear outrageous but seem, on reflection, annoyingly perceptive. Were I one of the expressive Americans he describes, I'd call this book awesome; as a constipated Brit, I'm inclined to say that it is not at all bad." Henry Hitching "...Terry Eagleton's far from unfunny new book..." London Review of Books
