Arthur Asa Berger is the author of more than one hundred articles and more than seventy books on pop culture, media, cultural studies, humor and tourism. If you count second, third, fourth and fifth editions of books, he has published more than ninety books. His books have been translated into ten languages, with fourteen of his books translated into Chinese and five into Farsi. One of his favorite articles was titled "The Evangelical Hamburger." It was a study of McDonald's hamburgers and American culture, published in 1964. He also wrote an article published in the Los Angeles Times about some sexual aspects of video games. His book Bloom's Morning psychoanalyzed kitchen appliances and other household objects and rituals and includes drawings he made for each chapter. When he gave a reading on the book in Vietnam, someone in the audience asked him if the book was a work of fiction. That is the way many serious scholars in the United States look upon all his writings. He delights in taking obscure theories generally written in impenetrable prose by European scholars and pushing them to absurd results. He has explained the way he writes as follows- "I make everything up as I go along and throw in charts and diagrams to fool social scientists." Jean Baudrillard writes in his Fragments, "He who speaks of himself should never say the whole truth, he should keep it secret and divulge only fragments." Berger has taken this advice to heart.
Reviews
"Writing Myself into Existence is no ordinary biography. Professor Berger is an "unclassifiable adolescent" who has published 70 books to date. Whether you are in the English-speaking world or in China, you'll admire this "assassin of academics" legendary experience, profound knowledge and thoughts, great humor, and critical thinking that shines a light of wisdom throughout the book."
Junchao Wang, Professor of Media Criticism at Tsinghua University
"In Berger's memoir you'll learn the truth about his killings of academic colleagues."
Dirk vom Lehn, Sociologist, author, Professor at King's College London
"As sophisticated, humorous and semiotic as all Berger's other writings, and produced by the right publishing house - since poiesis also means modifying environment. Once again, Arthur manages to change the academic environment in communication and semiotics."
Christo Kaftandjiev, Professor of Marketing Communications at Sofia University (Bulgaria) and Tomsk University (Russia)
"An entertaining mosaic of intellectual and personal autobiography, flitting from talking theory with Umberto Eco to the symbolic meaning of hamburgers, from analyzing Jewish humor to the importance of personal journals. Considering he callously killed me off in one of his novels after I published over 20 of his books, you can believe me when I say this book is well worth the read."
Mitch Allen, Publisher, Left Coast Press, Inc.
"Almost to spite his critical acumen, and the nonstop clamor of ideas for his immediate attention, Berger presents himself, his friends, and his studies sunny-side up. For Berger, "existence" means getting the rest of us to smile."
Elihu Katz, Professor Emeritus, Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
