«Notes from a Big Country» is a collection of humorous columns by Bill Bryson, published by Black Swan in paperback (448 pages, in English).
After twenty years in England, Bill Bryson returns to the United States and rediscovers his country from the perspective of someone who has lived abroad. With humour and bewilderment he describes everyday American life: fast food, television, roadside motels, parties and the small pleasures of New England.
The volume was published on 16 September 1999; the texts come from the column Bill Bryson wrote for The Mail on Sunday during the 1990s.
A book for readers of humour and travel writing interested in American culture and Bill Bryson's ironic gaze.
