Book summaryIn this study of trends and class, a writer defines and decodes a new group in American society which he calls Bobos--a portmanteau word made from "bohemian" and "bourgeois"--who embody a consumerist combination of those two world-views. Brooks engages in what he calls "cosmic sociology," and writes in the tradition of William H. Whyte (THE ORGANIZATION MAN) and the early Tom Wolfe. A 2000 New York Times Notable Book. Media reviews"BOBOS IN PARADISE offers a tartly amusing, all too accurate guide to the new establishment and its self-serving ways." |
