  • America and Other Fictions

    On Radical Faith and Post-Religion

    de Ed Simon ...

  • Dove and the Dragon

    A Cultural History of the Apocalypse

  • American Elegy

    Reflections on 250 Years of the Dis-United States of America

    de Ed Simon ...
    Before there was the United States, there was America. The former is a country, a nation, a geographic reality, but the latter is an idea. Invented more than discovered, “America” signified a revolutionary ideal of freedom, liberty, equality, and justice, what Tom Paine in Common Sense meant when he wrote that “We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”Among the greatest expressions ...
