About This Item
New York: Touchstone Books/Simon & Schuster, 1992. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Remainder Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Gently used, clean and unmarked wraps, slight wear to upper front corner, remainder mark to lower edge, pages also clean and unmarked, no underlined or highlighted text. A hilarious and eye-opening attack on the rise of BAD taste in America. He says merely bad is like do-do on the sidewalk; BAD is anything phony, witless, clumsy, untalented, vacant, boring that Americans can be persuaded is genuine, graceful, bright, or fascinating. Lots of examples of what he means. "--he addresses what might just be the awful truth about ther last rotting timber our house stands on." (Kirkus Reviews). 201 pages. 5.5 x 8.5 inches. 1992, Touchstone Books/Simon & Schuster, New York.
