Some Times in America by Alexander Chancellor
America may no longer have a special relationship with Britain, but it still has one with Alexander Chancellor. Nurtured during the war on American food parcels and American musicals, he grew up in England believing the United States to be some kind of paradise. But it was many years before he had a chance to verify this assumption. Certainly nobody could have predicted in 1944, when he was four years old and his father introduced him to American culture by bringing back records of Oklahoma! from New York, that almost fifty years later he would take up the famous monocle of Eustace Tilley, mascot of the New Yorker, and edit its 'The Talk of the Town' section.His appointment was asking for trouble, but also reaped a harvest of news, gossip, humour and embarassment that make for irresistibly good reading. Through unforgettable anecdotage and analysis readers can join one of our most engaging journalists in his singular sojourns on the far side.| SKU | Unavailable |
