I’m a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away Audiobook (Free)

A vintage from the brand new York Moments bestselling writer of A Walk in the Woods and YOUR BODY.

After surviving in Britain for two decades, Bill Bryson recently moved back to america with his English wife and four children (he had read somewhere that nearly 3 million Americans believed they had been abducted by aliens-as he afterwards place it, ‘it was very clear my people needed me’). They were greeted by a fresh and improved America that features microwave pancakes, twenty-four-hour dental-floss hotlines, and the staunch conviction that snow is not a luxury item.

Providing the brilliant comic musings that are a Bryson hallmark, I’m a Stranger Here Myself recounts his sometimes disconcerting reunion with the land of his birth. The result is a book filled with hysterical scenes of one man’s attempt to reacquaint himself along with his personal country, nonetheless it can be also an extended if sometimes bemused love letter towards the homeland he has returned to after twenty years away.
