Join Terry Eagleton on a journey through the language, geography and national character of the United States. To mark the publication of his new book Across the Pond, Terry will be in in conversation with Christian Lorentzen, Senior Editor at theLRB (and an American). Henry Hitchings writes: ‘Terry Eagleton has a gift for the kind of generalisations that at first appear outrageous but seem, on reflection, annoyingly perceptive. Were I one of the expressive Americans he describes, I’d call this book awesome; as a constipated Brit, I’m inclined to say that it is not at all bad.’
