Lorsqu'on parcourt les diverses contrées de l'Europe, on est frappé d'un spectacle très extraordinaire et en apparence inexplicable.Les pays qui paraissent les plus misérables sont ceux qui, en réalité, comptent le moins d'indigents, et chez les peuples dont vous admirez l'opulence, une partie de la population est obligée pour vivre d'avoir recours aux dons de l'autre.Traversez les campagnes de l'Angleterre, vous vous croirez transporté dans l'Eden de la civilisation moderne. Des routes magnifiquement entretenues, de fraîches et propres demeures, de gras troupeaux errant dans de riches prairies, des cultivateurs pleins de force et de santé, la richesse plus éblouissante qu'en aucun pays du monde, la simple aisance plus ornée et plus recherchée qu'ailleurs ; partout l'aspect du soin, du bien-être et des loisirs ; un air de prospérité universelle qüon croit respirer dans l'atmosphère elle- même et qui fait tressaillir le c¿ur à chaque pas : telle apparaît l'Angleterre aux premiers regards du voyageur.Pénétrez maintenant dans l'intérieur des communes ; examinez les registres des paroisses, et vous découvrirez avec un inexprimable étonnement que le sixième des habitants de ce florissant royaume vit aux dépens de la charité publique.

Like Jazz, any attempt to arrive at a precise, all-encompassing definition of the stories in Automatically Hip is probably futile. However, within these artfully-crafted, often-irreverent, and darkly humorous pieces are characters who share one consistent trait: you'll recognize them. These are folks who face struggle with a smile, and fortune with a frown. They are complicated and shallow, reactive and reflective, joyful and joyless. In short, they are human.
