'I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to' And, as soon as Bill
Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but
it did lure him back. After ten years in England, he returned to
the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a
mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of trim and sunny
place where the films of his youth were set. Instead, his search
led him to Anywhere, USA; a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels
and hamburger outlets populated by lookalike people with a penchant
for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly
lost; lost to itself because blighted by greed, pollution, mobile
homes and television; lost to him because he had become a stranger
in his own land. Bryson's acclaimed first success, The Lost
Continent is a classic of travel literature - hilariously,
stomach-achingly, funny, yet tinged with heartache - and the book
that first staked Bill Bryson's claim as the most beloved writer of
his generation.
