Chancellor, a lifelong journalist, was editor for the Spectator, a British political weekly, in 1975 when Tina Brown, then 21, was looking for work. He didn't hire her, but nearly two decades later, when she began her controversial term as editor for the venerable New Yorker, she hired him to oversee the magazine's opening section, "The Talk of the Town." Brown was already bristling at public skepticism over a Brit's ability to run a quintessentially American publication, so her decision to put her fellow countryman in charge of the most New York^-oriented part of the magazine seemed peculiar then and seems even more bizarre now, as Chancellor recounts his uneasy one-year tenure. He parlays his often awkward experiences into a piquant pondering of "the strangeness of being British in the U.S." and an illuminating consideration of the differences between British and American journalism.
