Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers

Summary

This quote suggests that in the United States, culture is not valued and appreciated the same way as it is in Europe. The phrase "delicious panacea" implies that culture is seen as a soothing and healing element in Europe, while in the U.S., it is not given as much importance. Additionally, the reference to "special columns in the newspapers" suggests that culture is often relegated to a less prominent position in American media compared to its prominent coverage in European newspapers.
