Returning to the UK in some ways has been disconcerting – or maybe discombobulating would be a better word. It is, after all, my home; it is where I grew up, a country I love and am proud of. But either it’s changed, or I have. Maybe both.

It just feels like a strange land.

At the beginning of 2022, after eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel returned home to the UK – and having spent almost a third of his career abroad, he found a very different place to the one he left. In Strangeland, his first book since launching the global hit podcast The News Agents, he asks: What is the Britain he’s come home to?

In the US, Jon was the outsider looking in, firm in the belief that the common language of English masked our fundamental differences; in terms of values and beliefs, it seemed the British had much more in common with our European neighbours.

Strangeland is Jon’s account of how much that has changed. The US was a country he thought he knew well but didn’t really; returning home has been in some ways even more disconcerting – either Britain, the country he grew up in, has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it’s both.

A trenchant analysis of politics, people, and everything in between, Strangeland is an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.


在某些方面,回到英国有些令人不安——或者说用“令人困惑”来形容会更准确。毕竟,那是我的家园;那是我长大的地方,一个我爱并引以为豪的国家。但或许它变了,或者是我变了吗?也许两者都有可能。 它感觉就像一个陌生的土地。 2022年初,在美国政治报道八年之后,Jon Sopel 回到了英国——在将近职业生涯三分之一的时间里他都在国外度过。在《The News Agents》全球热门播客推出之后出版的《Strangeland》这本书中,他在问自己:他回到家里的英国是什么样子? 在美国,Jon是外人,但他坚信英语这一共同语言掩盖了我们的根本差异;从价值观和信仰角度来看,似乎英国有更多的与欧洲邻国相同之处。 《Strangeland》是Jon对这种变化的记录。在Jon看来,美国是他知道但并不完全了解的地方——而回到家乡的感受甚至更为令人不安:或许是英国这个他长大的国家发生了巨大的变化,或者是他自己变了。也许两者都有可能。 从政治、人物到方方面面,《Strangeland》是对一个已穿越镜中世界的国家的独特肖像画。
