Stars And Bars by William Boyd
In this comedic tale, a British art appraiser named Henderson Dores navigates the eccentricities of Southern American culture as he embarks on a mission to acquire a valuable painting. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s, Henderson's journey is fraught with absurd encounters, from a dysfunctional family to a series of misadventures that challenge his stiff-upper-lip demeanor. As he grapples with the chaos around him, Henderson undergoes a personal transformation, discovering unexpected truths about himself and the world he thought he understood.
