An eccentric, otherworldly guide to the domestic spaces Americans inhabit|American Homes by Ryan Ridge is a satirical exploration of the modern American home and its symbolic role in culture, identity, and society. Blending humor, wit, and sharp social commentary, the book dissects domestic spaces—attics, basements, kitchens, windows, doors, and more—while reflecting on the American dream, materialism, and suburban life. Through Ridge's playful and often absurd prose, everyday household elements become metaphors for larger societal issues, revealing the quirks, contradictions, and anxieties of contemporary life.

From the nostalgia of front porches to the hidden mysteries of basements, Ridge turns ordinary spaces into insightful meditations on homeownership, personal identity, and cultural expectations. American Homes is as much an architectural guidebook as it is a critique of consumerism, presenting a vivid portrait of how we live and the structures that define us. The result is a thought-provoking, humorous, and occasionally surreal commentary on what it means to call a place "home" in America.
