A land of dreams, now and always
Anna Engelke has already been living there for five years, and Jörg Thadeusz would move there in a heartbeat: the USA. Not so much because of the celebrated vastness of its landscapes or the dream many middle-aged men have of heaving themselves onto a Harley-Davidson and revving up on Route 66. Rather, what Anna Engelke and Jörg Thadeusz are interested in is “the American” – who is obviously no more real than “the German.” The United States is home to 313 million people. Some have only just arrived; others have been living there for so long that they can tell you exactly why a Confederate flag on a car drives them crazy.
Through sixteen affectionate and highly amusing portraits, the authors show just how much space this immense country offers people – politically, personally and in terms of what they eat. A book for anyone who loves America – from sea to shining sea.
