From the jacket flap
From John Seabrook, one of our most incisive and amusing cultural critics, comes Nobrow, a fascinatingly original look at the radical convergence of marketing and culture.
In the old days, highbrow was elite and unique and lowbrow was commercial and mass-produced. Those distinctions have been eradicated by a new cultural landscape where "good" means popular, where artists show their work at K-Mart, "Titantic becomes a bestselling classical album, and Roseanne Barr guest edits "The New Yorker: in short, a culture of Nobrow." Combining social commentary, memoir, and profiles of the potentates and purveyors of pop culture-entertainment mogul David Geffen, MTV President Judy McGrath, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Nobrow high-priest George Lucas, and others-Seabrook offers an enthralling look at our breakneck society where culture is ruled by the unpredictable Buzz and where even aesthetic worth is measured by units shipped.
