I have enjoyed all three of these "Merde" books over the years. And they are all so entertaining! In this one, he takes on America and while I am VERY disappointed that he didn't visit Chicago on his tour, I still found myself laughing along with his over-the-top misadventures. It's an enjoyable and entertaining read, and I'm eager to see what happens next with Paul West - and to see what projects Clarke tackles in the future.

There are many gaps in the documentary evidence, and McConkey fills these gaps in with fictional scenes and suppositions, adding color and depth where previously there have… Leer más
