Reviews"[O]ccasionally provocative and almost always infuriating ... America is filled with perceptive, almost poetic observations."- Rolling Stone "Since de Toqueville, French thinkers have been fascinated with America. But when it comes to mysterious paradoxes and lyrical complexity no French intellectual matches Jean Baudrillard in contemplating the New World... [He] has become a sharp-shooting Lone Ranger of the post-Marxist left."- The New York Times "A mixture of crazy notions and dead-on insights, America is a valuable (and voluble) picture of what Mr. Baudrillard calls 'the only remaining primitive society' ... ours."- The New York Times Book Review, 'eoeA mixture of crazy notions and dead-on insights, America is a valuable (and voluble) picture of what Mr. Baudrillard calls 'e~the only remaining primitive society'e(tm) 'e¦ ours.'e�

Synopsis'eoeThe collection of wild, often hilarious postcards from his trip to America contains some of the year'e(tm)s most original and beautiful writing.'e�'e"New Statesman and Society, France's leading philosopher of postmodernism takes to the freeways of the New World. Baudrillard assembles images of light, distance, endless horizontal circulation, political indifference and, above all, simulation."
