Mrs de Beauvoir is one of my favorite writers. "L'Amérique au jour le jour" is a title that reflects what the author wanted her readers to discover about New York City. The style and ideas, if I remember well were really the most simplistic ever, a language really current, the facts and stories reported, nothing sophisticated, easy to read, du :day by day." I read it over twenty years ago and this is what I have kept in mind.
