America Day by Day
America Day by Day | Simone de Beauvoir
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A portrait of 1940s America by a French writer, eg. "The constipated girl smiles a loving smile at the lemon juice that relieves her intestines. In the subway, in the streets, on magazine pages, these smiles pursue me like obsessions. I read on a sign in a drugstore, 'Not to grin is a sin.' Everyone obeys the order, the system. 'Cheer up! Take it easy.' Optimism is necessary for the country's social peace and economic prosperity."

So I found a copy of this out of print book! I absolutely love road trip books and travel memoirs.
This is Simone de Beauvoir‘s “diary” from her four month US trip in 1947.

Since I have no plans for an upcoming road trip I‘m going to virtually travel across the US (and back in time)
