Description
A completely original, passionately rendered portrait of the nations of North America and their complicated relationships with one another, by a New York Times journalist who has lived in all three countries. DePalma considers these questions both as a journalist and through the lens of his own immigrant American family’s experiences, offering illuminating re-examinations of key historical events, vivid contemporary reportage, and thought-provoking, often moving stories of individuals, including those of his own relatives, along the way.
