About This Book

Una raccolta di impressioni e reportage di viaggio che documenta la traversata oceanica e le soste in città americane, con descrizioni dettagliate della vita a bordo, scene urbane di New York e Chicago, visite al Niagara e ritratto della comunità italiana negli Stati Uniti. L'autore osserva costumi, educazione, abitudini di consumo e problemi sociali come l'alcolismo e i locali da bere, alternando interviste e digressioni personali, confronti culturali e ritratti di singole figure, con tono misurato che mescola osservazione giornalistica e riflessione personale.
