Great writers of the early and middle 20th century saw knowing Europe as essential on knowing themselves as an American. I think you intuitively know this.

I have obviously not read it but, based on the synopsis, don’t see anything that would dissuade me (who, although born in Wisconsin, does not consider himself a midwesterner) from reading it. It also may send a message to the money people that it may have limited appeal. That last comment is pure conjecture as I don’t really know how the book business works.
