Book Synopsis
We live in an age of popular culture - another term, to some, for an organic mess of marketing strategies aimed at giving us the illusion of choice. From Oprah Winfrey's Book Club to presidential politics, however, distinctions of taste are more accurately understood to be blunt instruments of antidemocratic elitism. So argues Chris Lehmann, in a discussion that ranges over the world of Edward Shils, Clement Greenberg, and Jonathan Franzen with equal ease. The resulting pamphlet is an impassioned plea for the rebirth of culture with content.
