Summary/Abstract: This paper sketches Miłosz’s (non)-existing book on America which consists of his numerous articles and columns written during his fi rst stay in the United States from 1946 to 1950. They were published in the Polish literary press, often under a pen name (such as “Jan M. Nowak” or “Żagarysta”). The book is a signifi cant record of the period: political transformations at the beginning of the Cold War and Anti-Americanism, popular among the European intellectuals in the late 1940s.
