Literature
VOS IN DE VS - Een levendige verkenning van het moderne Amerika
In de twintig jaar dat hij in de Verenigde Staten woont, heeft de bekende Amerika-correspondent Michiel Vos zich aangepast van een naïeve immigrant met romantische ideeën over zijn nieuwe land tot een burger die zijn geadopteerde vaderland een spiegel kan voorhouden. Als Nederlandse jongen uit Maastricht nam hij afscheid van zijn moederland, trouwde in een bekende Amerikaanse politieke familie en werd hij Amerikaan.
In een poging de mythologie van zijn Nieuwe Wereld te ontrafelen, neemt Michiel ons mee naar the American way of life of wat daar nog van over is, en opent hij deuren naar het Amerikaanse establishment; hij ontmoet presidenten, popidolen, Hollywoodsterren en gewone, veelal boze Amerikanen. Aan de hand van smakelijke en humorvolle anekdotes beschrijft hij het Amerika van de 21e eeuw.
