Americanisation

Biti Namoeteri, an enterprising young man from “South America’s Lichtenstein,” comes to the US to get a graduate degree in Spiritual Geography, never expecting to become a multi-level marketer or to fall in love with a woman named Janet Broccoli. But he does just that, and then discovers that personal-injury lawsuits can be the keys to both success and failure. Woodward’s narrative strategy is both accessible and experimental in this comic novel posing as a textbook.
