After reading this book, it will finally become clear that none of us knew about how America lives and how to live in America. The author's lively sketches about how the life of ordinary Americans works, from everyday household things to making big decisions. For example, registering a car or choosing a school for children; buying a house or renting a home; the mechanics of getting into college or finding a job and choosing a president or governor. From people's attitudes towards sex and big politics to daily home life and standard problems that everyone who lives or comes to the USA faces.
