In A Sunburned Country(ISBN=9780767903868)
So the question is: will Bill Bryson be able to deliver yetanother travel book that educates, entertains and makes thedelighted reader laugh aloud? No worries, mate, because 'Brysonvisits Australia' (or Down Under, to use its proper title) doesn'tdisappoint. Our boy Bill declares his love for the Antipodes andproves it beyond doubt. This is another well-researched serio-comictreat, featuring Bryson's classic creation - a bemused Americantourist who masks his generosity of spirit and genuine wonderbehind a wisecracking persona (the character known as 'BillBryson'). Bryson's delight in language and wordplay is perhaps hisgreatest gift. My favourites from Down Underinclude his collectionof Australian Parliamentary epithets ('you perfumed gigolo/mangymaggot/stunned mullet') and his encounter with a complete strangerin the shadow of a giant fibreglass lobster somewhere south ofMelbourne (the punch-line to which is 'man crushed by fallingbullock's bollocks'). Another winner is the vicious parody of Ozzieradi
