On every side, Goldsmith's descriptions are sarcastic and ironic. He does the latter by way of the story of Choang and Hansi, two Korean lovers renowned for the intensity of their romance. In letter 18, “The Story of a Chinese Matron,” Lien Chi, writing to his friend back in China, recounts his experience of the courtship and marriage habits of the British and Dutch, comparing them first against one another, and then against South Eastern Asian habits. Because Goldsmith's work is so capacious, this review will take one letter, letter 18, as exemplary of Goldsmith's general approach throughout the series.

Sporting a boxed beard and black kimono, Black leans into his regular persona, period be damned, begrudgingly telling a matronly neighbor (a memorable Colleen Camp) he’ll keep the noise down after midnight, even though “them’s me best jamming hours.” He’s a dream guardian, serving choc-chip cookies for dinner and insisting there’s no such thing as bedtime. Kitted out by Marlene Stewart in a tweed jacket, bow tie and aviator goggles, Lewis (Vaccaro) arrives in the fictional New Zebedee, Michigan, in 1955, to meet his uncle Jonathan (Black), who has assumed custody of the boy after the death of his parents in a car crash.
