"Amerikafahrt" by Wolfgang Koeppen is a masterpiece of observation,
analysis, and writing, based on his 1958 trip to the United States.
A major twentieth-century German writer, Koeppen presents a vivid
and fascinating portrait of the US in the late 1950s: its major
cities, its literary culture, its troubled race relations, its
multi-culturalism and its vast loneliness, a motif drawn, in part,
from Kafka's "Amerika." A modernist travelogue, the text employs
symbol, myth, and image, as if Koeppen sought to answer de
Tocqueville's questions in the manner of Joyce and Kafka. "Journey
through America" is also a meditation on America, intended for a
German audience and mindful of the destiny of postwar Europe under
many Americanizing influences.
