Overview

The author of this absorbing book has cast a keen eye over his adopted country and come away with a collection of essays containing a series of sharp observations. Before the advent of today's diplomatic quagmire in Iraq, the Pakistani-born author composed a shrewd judgment on the enormous political costs of future American involvement in that country. Likewise, prior to Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House, the well-travelled Hussaini was commenting on the expanding political power of female politicians. Thanks to his university education in India and Canada, as well as the many years he spent residing in a wide variety of countries as a representative of the Pakistani government, Hussaini is a tremendously gifted witness to outside events. Nor are his acute powers of the pen restricted to political matters, for he turns his bemused gaze on the American obsession with automobiles and contemplates their allegiance to shopping malls. Additionally, he comments on their sexual habits, bemoans their airports, and ponders the American search for instant gratification. Hussaini's unique observations make for refreshing reading about a country which alternately fascinates and frightens.
