Granta 84: Over There: How America Sees the Rest of the World - Edited by Ian Jack

A collection of novellas, short stories, photo montages and cartoons illustrating how Americans who travel perceive themselves in the USA and in the countries they travel to and settle in. I enjoyed the autobiographical items the most, with the fully fictional pieces the least satisfying. It was a bit heavy going in places, but given the range of material that's only to be expected.

A good souvenir from Salt's Mill, Saltaire and Cat's 30th birthday weekend.
