Written with dry European wit and the observational humor of Jerome K. Jerome for the 21st century, United States of Absurdities is part travel diary, part social satire, and part survival manual for anyone brave enough to live (or dream of living) in New York.Don't move to New York before you read this book. Welcome to the Billionaire's Club - New YorkStep into the chaotic, hilarious, and bewildering world of New York City through the eyes of a sharp-witted European newcomer. This humorous, candid, and slightly confused memoir takes you on a journey through the absurdities of American life - from baffling dating rules and dog-obsessed streets to overpriced coffee, tipping rituals, reality TV lessons, and a city obsessed with offense.When a European woman - armed with charm, curiosity, and a fondness for real butter - lands in Manhattan in 2002, she expects sophistication, romance, and perhaps a decent espresso. Instead, she finds suspiciously cheerful strangers, ghosting that is decidedly non-supernatural, and everyday chaos that tests patience, nerves, and eyebrows alike. From accidentally joining a gym cult to learning that "let's do lunch" often means "goodbye forever," she navigates the Big Apple with charm, dry wit, and one eyebrow permanently raised.In this razor-sharp satire of modern life, readers are invited into the slightly confused, always bemused, and utterly delightful mind of a man out of his element - and often out of cash. And you will learn a lot about dating in New York and about New York Politicians.Perfect for fans of dry British humor, cultural satire, city life comedy, and anyone who has ever attempted small talk with a New Yorker. If you want to truly understand the quirks, contradictions, and comedic absurdities of New York, read this book first - before you visit the city.Laughter - if you take it Seriously - Can Cure Any Disease Out There According to Eastern Doctors.So Treat this British Humor Book as a Medicine.
