Book Description

October 20, 1998
J. Crewd is a wickedly funny satire on J. Crew, the twenty-something clothing catalogue for yuppies, preppies, and Winona Ryder-in-Reality Bites wannabes. Illustrated with 90210-ish models sporting leisure wear that would work equally well at a New Canaan barbecue, a night at the Viper Club, or a screening of Quentin Tarantino's latest film, this parody of today's fashions and fetishes is a hilarious social commentary on consumerism and contemporary taste.

Featuring items such as "So Chill Chinos," real babies from the J. Cloning line ("From the womb to you, we don't just make babies, we forge families."), and the "Pleine-Air Boxer," the humor cuts a wide swath as it skewers our out-of-control consumer society. But as the J. Crewd philosophy goes, an overeducated customer is our best shopper.

J. Crewd is a parody for all ages of sophisticated shoppers.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest books I have ever seen., August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: J. Crewd (Paperback)
J Crewd, by Justin Racz is, without a doubt, one of the funniest books I have ever laid eyes on. Every detail is intentional, each time I look at it I find something new, and HILARIOUS. It doesn't just poke fun at a the catalog, but at the entire fashion industry. I gave it to some friends as a gift, and they all loved it too. This book is GREAT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Unadulterated Genius, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: J. Crewd (Paperback)
A literary masterpiece has been bestowed upon us and it's purveyor is Justin Racz. This tearful, joyous, gripping satirical examination of society's infatuation, nay addiction to catalogue shopping is an insightful, sociological commentary on our cultural trend towards an isolationist existence. I say bravo Mr. Racz on this risqué, cutting edge exposé serving as your first venture into the kingdom of authorship. The concrete walls that have imprisoned the literary community in the dark cell of imperturbable depravity come crumbling down with the passionate prose that flow effortlessly from the "stylo" of Racz. The precedent has been set and the bar has been raised. Mr. Racz comes roaring into the printed medium with a fury we have not seen since King or Grisham. The only comparable feat will be topping this tour-de-force in his next installment.
