Transatlantic humorist David Bouchier brings wit, wisdom and a
touch of philosophy to the everyday dramas of American suburban
life. This book brings together more than a hundred essays,
originally broadcast on National Public Radio, or published in his
"Out of Order" column in the Sunday New York Times.
When work and marriage brought David Bouchier to Long Island in
1986 the endless suburbs seemed mysterious and exotic to him. He
was inspired to begin writing essays and newspaper columns about
his life there - a personal and public diary of the Resident Alien
experience. In 1992 a weekly public radio essay was added to the
newspaper columns, and thousands of listeners still enjoy David's
weekly radio broadcasts.
These are the affectionate and sometimes acerbic observations of
an Accidental Immigrant, who still finds life in America endlessly
stimulating and wonderfully strange. David Bouchier's thoughts
about love, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the
suburbs will make you smile, and make you think. Boring suburban
rituals like lawn care mall shopping, wedding rehearsals, and
barbecues will never seem the same again.
