That's an interesting question. I would say that in general Americans know very little about the law. It's one of those things that most of us take for granted.
I had no idea that 'Less Than Zero' was going to be read by anyone outside of Los Angeles, and it's - believe me, as the writer of the book I'm somewhat amused and intrigued by the idea that 25 years later it's still out and people are still reading it.
