Trade Review
"Today's inescapable and perplexing Nietzsche is not necessarily the same Nietzsche who inspired readers in the past; and it's the achievement of American Nietzsche to show how that is the case." (Alexander Star, New York Times Book Review) "A lively history.... With vigor and intelligence, American Nietzsche covers a great deal of ground.... Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen is a superb listener." (Nation)"
