The US was a country he thought he knew well but didn't really; returning home has been in some ways even more disconcerting  either Britain, the country he grew up in, has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it's both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA trenchant analysis of politics, people, and everything in between, \u003ci\u003eStrangeland\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020046238039,"sku":"9781529938418","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781529938418.jpg?v=1750782189","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/strangeland-9781529938418","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
