Description

The author of Class has created a satirical reference work that excoriates those things in modern life that are promoted as simply wonderful but are, in fact, BAD. Paul Fussell writes that we are living in a moment teeming with raucously overvalued emptiness and trash. BAD is devoted to identifying examples of the phony or witless that public relations attempts to persuade us are genuine or grand.

Description

With characteristic wit, Fussell zeroes in on the decline of good taste in America. Bad is a hilarious look at how Americans can be persuaded that almost anything that's bad is good. With hints on how to recognize just what's BAD these days, Fussell provides an amusing and illuminating look at the current state of taste in America.
