We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!
Jonathan Franzen's latest - simply titled "Freedom" - is engendering a tremendous buzz of anticipation among the literati. It's the story of a liberal Minnesota family who experiences culture shock when they decamp to Washington, D.C. and encounter conservative neighbors. Sounds like fun to me - anyone else want to read it?
