A New York Times Bestseller

The author of the acclaimed bestseller Bobos in Paradise takes a witty look at middle-class, suburban America. Responding to those who regard us as the great bimbos of the globe, he asks: Are we as shallow as we look? Is there anything that unites us across the divides of politics, race, class, and geography? What does it mean to be American?

Available only in Americana 5.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Along with exposing cultural absurdities, [Brooks] offers acute observations on middle-class life, and he frequently takes us in previously unexplored philosophical directions."
