"is one of those travel books that makes you go like WOW, I need to get out and see the world. If you are curious about America, let none other than a French philosopher teach you all about it."
i like it when theorists complain about things, the older i get i sense connections with those who complain about things, things are messed up and sometimes to complain relaxes the mind enough to consider solutions. it is also interesting to read a dude reading america; generally in my skull america is thought of as the reader which is dripping with imperialism
dripping
yes
pithy quotes from the book forthcoming, also i am reading MORE BAUDRILLARD oh boy."
