I really enjoyed the outsider look at the various places in our country. It would have been easy to just to to NYC and say "all americans do this". But the book did a wonderful job of trying to really see the whole experience. Great. Well done.

When I started reading America 2, I wasn't really sure what the concept was or who the audience was. After all, it seems like a kaleidoscope in reverse - French authors in America writing about America presumably for an American French audience? Regardless, I enjoyed delving into this diverse collection. From coast to coast, from the Evangelical Midwest to the Native American reservation to the Mexican-American borderlands, "America 2" offers slice of life pieces on life in modern day America under the Trump administration. Entertaining and thoughtful, it was almost anthropological in its benevolent gaze.An enjoyable read!
