The "Wall Street Journal" and former "New York Times" architecture critic, who won the first Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism, examines Americans' preference for invented environments, such as theme parks, shopping malls and historic restorations. Huxtable argues that these and other unreal places, including Disney's Celebration city, have created a fantasy world in which the authentic is neither admired nor desired; and that real art, real places and history are the losers in the unreal America.
