About This Book

A sequence of impressionistic travel essays by a writer returning after long residence abroad who records his immediate sensory reactions and extended reflections on American cities, regions, and social life. He moves from New England through New York and the Hudson to Newport, Boston, Concord, Salem, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Southern cities and Florida, combining granular description of streets, architecture, and landscapes with meditations on memory, perception, manners, and cultural character. The pieces balance aesthetic attention and critical observation, seeking to capture both visible change and subtler social temperaments encountered on the journey.
