One semitropical Fourth of July, Joe Queenans English wife suggested that the family might like a chicken tikka masala in lieu of the customary barbecue. It was this pitiless act of gastronomic cultural oppression, coupled with dread of the fearsome Christmas pudding that awaited him for dessert, that inspired the author to make a solitary pilgrimage to Great Britain. Freed from the obligation to visit his wifes relations, as he had done for the first twenty-six years of their marriage, Queenan decided that he would not come back from Albion until he had finally penetrated the heart of limey darkness. The result is a very funny picareque adventure that will appeal to anglophile and anglophobe alike.Queenan, Joe is the author of 'Queenan Country A Reluctant Anglophile's Pilgrimage to the Mother Country', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312425210 and ISBN 031242521X.
