Married in México
After several years knocking around the Pacific Northwest, E.G. Brady arrived in México hoping to simplify his life, but one wife and several kids later, what qualifies as a "simple life" is sometimes more a matter of creatively avoiding – or rather, enjoying – the worst cultural shocks...and maintaining the ability to laugh at yourself.
These essays – compared to Bill Bryson (who after all, only went to England, where he more or less understood the language) – are universal in their appeal. Most were originally published in Pacific Pearl, a monthly magazine for Mazatlán visitors, and are gathered here for the first time for the enjoyment of the international audience they richly deserve.

Married in México Reviews
" Every visitor has funny stories about living in Mexico. The difference between the torturous, the mediocre and the truly great is the amount of verbose and meandering background an author provides before getting to the good stuff. Brady’s writing is all good stuff: laugh-out-loud slices of Mexico…. It’s a loosely organized, free-flowing, and imaginative way to see into the heart of Mexico. This is a true keeper.
…Brady has developed a dry, self-effacing, immensely likeable narrative voice. …anyone who enjoys Bill Bryson will probably consider Brady a lucky find. Brady has a great eye for detail and chooses his local color wisely, with the gentle humor of those who truly love Mexico and its people.
Best of all, the longer you’ve spent in this country, the more you’ll identify with the book (especially if you have settled here and have Mexican relatives). It’s great to have a laugh. It’s even better to know that you’re not entirely alone.
