Levy's book about America is indeed mostly about the French's perception of the USA. It's
written for the French, which is why Eric doesn't recognize his country in it.
The same happens in reverse. What most Americans think of the French ("wine-sipping
surrender monkeys", etc.) is the American perception of France, and it has little to do with
France. The same goes for the American perception of Arabs, Iranians, Chinese, and everyone
else who sends the USA into a twitter.
