I still haven’t read American Nietzsche, but I did stumble across another review of it, slash, a meditation on the concept of it.

Methinks I really need to read this book. A couple of items I had read about before was Mencken’s role in promoting Nietzsche on this continent and the other was the accusation that Walter Kaufmann ‘sanitized’ Nietzsche. Because, yes, I came to Nietzsche through Kaufmann and his ubiquitous translations (particularly the one pictured).
