Description:
From his temporary home in the suburbs of Georgetown, Italian newspaper
columnist Severgnini turns a curious eye toward Americans, their bureaucracy
and labor-saving gadgets. The reporter discusses the All-American fat-free,
guilt-free, buy-now, pay-later mechanics of advanced capitalism. And,
admits that he is not adverse to her charms. Both repelled and attracted
by the wonders of convenience living, he finds a joyous horror in channel-hopping,
mall shopping, the pursuit of comfort and our blatant lack of sartorial
know-how.
