Description: "With 1994 World Cup Soccer as a point of departure, most pieces concern American customs, exemplifying travel motifs in the genre. The articles, while generally more serious (i.e., without comic intentions) than is common in Veríssimo's repertory, do not compare favorably with US travel literature of author's father, novelist Érico Veríssimo"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
