America Day by Day

America Day by Day is a 1948 book by Simone de Beauvoir chronicling her trip by road across the United States of America over four months in 1947.[1][2] It was published in French in 1948 with an English translation in 1953. A new translation in English by Carol Cosman with a foreword by Douglas Brinkley was published in 1999 by the University of California Press.[1]

The book grew from the essay "An Existentialist Looks at Americans", published in The New York Times Magazine in 1947.[3]
