Description: Here is the ultimate American road book. In January 1947 Simone de Beauvoir landed at La Guardia airport and began a four-month journey that took her from one coast of the United States to the other and back again. The detailed diary she kept of her trip became America Day by Day, published in France in 1948 and offered here in a completely new translation. It is one of the most intimate, warm, and compulsively readable texts from the greater writer's pen and demonstrates once again why she is one of the most profound, original, and influential writers an thinkers of the twentieth century.
