“What is the American Berserk?... The American Berserk is characterized by world-historical excess. It is the mood of a country convinced of its chosenness but drenched in self-pity about that chosenness not working out.” granta.com/the-american-bers…

‘It comes from within the American experience; it is a force without direction, a desire without a clear objective.’ Thomas Meaney on the American Berserk.
