Synopsis
In this combination travelogue and study of the American national character, a friendly European intellectual makes a grand tour across America and finds meaning wherever he stops. Bernard-Henri Levy declares fellow countryman Alexis de Tocqueville to be his model, and it is true he is seeking, as Tocqueville did back in the 1800s, to identify the American national character; but Levy is sometimes more like Walt Whitman: supremely accepting as he gathers all of America's hugeness to his heart. Levy finds history everywhere: small towns, malls, deserts, and big cities. There is an exuberant affection in almost all his encounters, and every small-town visit is the occasion for impressionistic asides delivered in a conversational tone. In AMERICAN VERTIGO, Bernard-Henri Levy searches for the American pulse, and finds it. He also finds a lot less fear and loathing--and a lot more spirit--than is usually reported.

Publisher's Note
A leading French writer travels America in the footsteps of Alexis de Tocqueville to provide a fascinating glimpse of American politics, culture, and society and what it means to be an American from the perspective of a foreign observer, addressing such issues as the religion of baseball, immigration, ideology, law, and the "tyranny of the majority." Reprint. 50,000 first printing.
