Synopsis
Bryson, author of A WALK IN THE WOODS and I'M A STRANGER HERE MYSELF, takes on Australia. Bryson's wit and capacity for observation remain in top working condition despite the heat, and his encounters with the locals are engaging in this typical Brysonian look beyond the obvious.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Flying into Australia, I realized with a sigh that I had forgotten again who their prime minister is. I am forever doing this with the Australian prime minister--committing the name to memory, forgetting it (generally more or less instantly), then feeling terribly guilty. My thinking is that there ought to be one person outside Australia who knows."
Industry Reviews
"It's not all yuks--though it is hard not to grin idiotically through all 288 pages--for Bryson is a talented portraitist of place."
Kirkus Reviews (03/01/1998)
"Mr. Bryson coasts too much but can still make most gratifying company."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (06/05/2000)
"The thing that Bryson most loves about Australia--'its effortlessly dry, direct way of viewing the world'--is, in fact, his own. They're a perfect fit."
New York Times Book Review - Annette Kobak (08/20/2000)
"It's a delight to be included on any one of Bill Bryson's journeys, but IN A SUNBURNED COUNTRY is, in my opinion, Bryson's best to date. The best, actually, of a very good lot."
January Magazine (06/20/2000)
