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.
