pp. 307, “This account of perceptions of America by French intellectuals from the 1920s to the postmodern period shows writers as diverse as Duhamel, Celine, and Sartre agreeing to regard modern America with blanket and disdainful disapproval. Some of the reasons they give include its conformity, materialism, standards of taste, egalitarianism, Cold War policies, and other differences from France. Poets like Perse and postmodernists like Baudrillard have been more favorable, the latter giving a utopian interpretation to the American experience” paperback edition
