Fresh Air Fiend: Travel Writings
Fresh Air Fiend is a remarkable collection of essays and articles written by Paul Theroux over the last fifteen years.

In 1782 an immigrant with the high-toned name J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur--Heartbreak in English--wrote a pioneering account of one European's transformation into an American.
