Sobre este artículo
Quartet Books, London, 1999. Softcover. Good Condition. On America's back porch, the most diverse and exotic cultures flourish in wild abandon; but it often takes the scrutiny of an outside observer, with an eye for the bizarre, to bring into relief the hilarious, often unsettling, bounty of strange experiences hiding within the mundane. In America's Back Porch, Daniel Jeffreys takes us on a startling voyage of discovery that brings us face to face with an America as it might have been recorded by the camera of Robert Frank. There are teenage vampires in Kentucky, Jesus-worshipping rattlesnake handlers in the Appalachians, a vigilante society in Texas, Ohio teenagers jailed for "fornication, " Alabama chain-gang guards who wrestle bears, cosmetic surgeons giving facelifts to Hollywood dogs, bounty killers in Florida, and right-wing extremists cradling AK-47s as they guard their compound in the Ozarks. In the tradition of Bill Bryson and P.J. O'Rourke, Jeffreys takes us on a rarely-seen tour of the underbelly of our culture recorded with a sure sense for the telling detail, the hilarity, the colorful, and the grotesque. 286 pages.
