Ciao, America: an Italian Discovers the U.S.

Ciao, America: an Italian Discovers the U.S.

by Beppe Severgnini

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 2003
  • PAPER
  • 272 PAGES

Dumbfounded and strangely enchanted by the oddities of America, Italian journalist Severgnini uses a rental house in Georgetown as a lookout point from which he gathers humorous observations on our cultural quirks. Hardly an anti-American rant, this book captures the disorienting experience of entering a country with many expectations, only to have them torn down.  (USA53, $14.00)
