Der klimatisierte Alptraum

For ten years, Henry Miller enjoyed life in culturally rich Europe, until the looming outbreak of World War II forced him to return to the New World. To reconcile with the country, he traveled across the USA in all directions. What he encounters along the way is depicted in the nineteen episodes of this book: the ugliest face of American reality, where in the shadow of the palaces of powerful corporate bosses, the shanties of the poor decay.
