Beschreibung
"I left the USA several decades ago, yet I still love my homeland. I searched for dialog between Europe and America through the link between Venice and Las Vegas."

Through the mode of the auto-socio-biography, Shapiro's "Venice in Las Vegas" examines the cultural, political, and technological events, and reaction of the media, that shaped the period of the 1960s through the 1980s across the United States and Europe. Shapiro weaves his personal experiences into the investigation, engaging with writers such as Baudrillard, Camus, Auster, and others, whose work is so intricately tied to his own memories of that time.
