In \u003ci\u003eStrangeland\u003c\/i\u003e, his first book since launching the global hit podcast \u003ci\u003eThe News Agents\u003c\/i\u003e, he asks: What is the Britain he’s come home to?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the US, Jon was the outsider looking in, firm in the belief that the common language of English masked our fundamental differences; in terms of values and beliefs, it seemed the British had much more in common with our European neighbours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStrangeland\u003c\/i\u003e is Jon’s account of how much that has changed. The US was a country he thought he knew well but didn’t really; returning home has been in some ways even more disconcerting – either Britain, the country he grew up in, has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it’s both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA trenchant analysis of politics, people, and everything in between, \u003ci\u003eStrangeland\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41540106748001,"sku":"9781529938401","price":20.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_32419345.jpg?v=1737274840","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529938401-strangeland","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
