Hardback. Condición: Fair. A New York Times Notable Book In an era of jet tourism, Jonathan Raban] remains a traveler-adventurer in the tradition of . . . Robert Louis Stevenson. --The New York Times Book Review In 1782 an immigrant with the high-toned name J. Hector St. John de Cr vecoeur--Heartbreak in English--wrote a pioneering account of one European's transformation into an American. Some two hundred years later Jonathan Raban, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, arrived in Cr vecoeur's wake to see how America has paid off for succeeding generations of newcomers. The result is an exhilarating, often deliciously funny book that is at once a travelogue, a social history, and a love letter to the United States. In the course of Hunting Mr. Heartbreak, Raban passes for homeless in New York and tries to pass for a good ol' boy in Alabama (which entails renting an elderly black lab). He sees the Protestant work ethic perfected by Korean immigrants in Seattle--one of whom celebrates her new home as So big So green So wide-wide-wide --and repudiated by the lowlife of Key West. And on every page of this peerlessly observant work, Raban makes us experience America with wonder, humor, and an unblinking eye for its contradictions. Raban delivers himself of some of the most memorable prose ever written about urban America. --Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times When Raban describes America and Americans, he is unfailingly witty and entertaining. --Salman Rushdie.…
