    "Mobile is not only a memorable experience, accomplishing that rich task of all true artâ??providing the reader with new eyesâ??but it is also work which fellow writers and artists can profit from because it supplies the best of all ingredients: stimulation."â??New York Herald Tribune

    Considered by many to be his greatest book, Michael Butor's Mobile is the result of the six months the author spent traveling across America. The text is composed from a wide range of materials, including city names, road signs, advertising slogans, catalog listings, newspaper accounts of the 1893 World's Fair, Native American writings, and the history of the Freedomland theme park.

    Butor weaves bits and pieces from these diverse sources into a collage resembling an abstract painting (the book is dedicated to Jackson Pollock) or a patchwork quilt that by turns is both humorous and quite disturbing. This travelogue capturesâ??in both a textual and visual wayâ??the energy and contradictions of American life and history.
