Sobre IBD

Frederick Shannon arrives in Britain expecting grandeur, tradition and moral certainty. What he finds is something very different. Through a series of letters to his uncle, this observant but innocent traveller records his journey across London in 1995. From bewildering encounters on the Underground to unexpected friendships and unsettling discoveries, his experiences are by turns humorous, touching and sharply critical. As Frederick’s admiration turns to doubt, his reflections offer a unique outsider’s view of modern society, exposing contradictions in culture, faith and everyday life.Wry, insightful and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Journal of Frederick Shannon is a distinctive exploration of a nation seen through unfamiliar eyes.
