SOLD OUT
Don Watson set out to explore the nation that has influenced him more than any other. His ambivalence and affection are omnipresent as he considers America's bewildering contradictions, its grandeur, its paradoxes and grotesque inequities.
He is the bestselling author of Recollections of a Bleeding Heart, Rabbit Syndrome, Death Sentence and Watson's Dictionary of Weasel Words. His most recent book American Journeys won The Age Non-Fiction and Book of the Year Awards, The Walkley Non-Fiction Book of the Year and Australian Independent Bookseller Indie for Non-Fiction Awards in 2008. It was also shortlisted for the Queensland Premier's Awards.
