The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British
Why do the English keep apologizing? Why does rain surprise them? Why are they so unenthusiastic about enthusiasm?
Even after eighteen years in London, New York Times reporter Sarah Lyall remained perplexed and intrigued by its curious inhabitants and their curious customs. When are they being ironic, and how can you tell? She's since returned to the United States, but this distillation of incisive-and irreverent-insights, now updated with a new preface, is just as illuminating today.
And perhaps even more so, in the wake of Brexit and the attendant national identity crisis.While there may be no easy answer to the question of how, exactly, to understand the English, The Anglo Files-part anthropological field study, part memoir-helps point the way.
