“One Hundred Miles from Manhattan is a book that Jon Stewart should have written. But he couldn’t have since he rarely leaves Manhattan. Thankfully Guillermo Fesser did. This famous Spanish wit dispels pre-conceived notions about America by using good old wanderlust and fresh eyes to document what a rich country we are. Not materially; but in spirit, history and character. Guillermo should sit back down and try his hand at the great American novel.” —Bill Owens, Executive Editor, 60 Minutes, CBS

“Fesser looks at daily life through a unique lens. One Hundred Miles from Manhattan is wacky, funny and full of characters I would like to meet. Bravo!” —Pedro Almodóvar, Filmmaker

“Guillermo Fesser’s never-ending curiosity delivers in One Hundred Miles from Manhattan an exciting mix of history, ordinary tales and fun facts that will provide American readers with a better understanding of their surroundings. With fast-paced and witty storytelling, going well beyond the stereotypes and clichés we are so used to hearing about America, Fesser captures the true essence of this country and its people, their vast cultural wealth and exhilarating complexity.” —Juan Manuel Benítez, Anchor, NY1, New York City

“As he struggled to reconcile what he learned from the people he met with his preconceptions about the U.S., their tales became fodder for a bestseller in Spain: A Cien Millas de Manhattan. In essence, it is his personal meditation on the unexpected Americas he discovers. Now the book has just been translated into English, giving Guillermo a crack at surprising you about a place you know. You should let him. Who better than a kind-hearted foreigner to help you marvel at our own land and learn something about your fellow Americans?” —Nick Leiber, Editor, Bloomberg Businessweek, New York City
