Robert Hughes / Culture of Complaint (Large Paperback) ✓ In Stock

This is a call for the re-knitting of a fragmented and over-tribalized America. It is a passionate book, filled with barbed wit and asides on public life, both left and right of centre. To the right, Hughes fires broadsides at the populist demagogy of Reagan and the Reaganites. To the left, he skewers political correctness, Afrocentrism, and academic obsession with theory, often totally remote from living issues. With the long retreat from public responsibilities that marked America in the 1980s Hughes sees "hollowness at the cultural core" - a nation "obsessed with therapies and filled with distrust of formal politics; sceptical of authority and prey to superstition, its language corroded by fake pity and euphemism". Hughes dismantles and inspects the core elements of the contemporary American ethos offers signposts on the way to a genuine non-ideological multi-culturalism, and to a political life realized (in Vaclav Havel's words) "not as the art of the useful but as practical morality, as service to the truth". The author also wrote "The Fatal Shore" and "Barcelona"     This book is second hand, and while you may not get the same publication/version/reprint/edition shown in the picture it will be the same author and title.

Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why : Essays by Alexandra Petri ✓ In Stock

In Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why, acclaimed The Washington Post satirist Alexandra Petri offers perfectly logical, reassuring reasons for everything that has happened in recent American politics and culture that will in no way unsettle your world view. In essays both new and adapted from her viral columns, Petri reports that the Trump administration is as competent as it is uncorrupted, white supremacy has never been less rampant and men have been silenced for too long. Q-Anon makes perfect sense! At the centre of the book is a virtuosic account of the past four years, a history as surreal and deranged as the Trump administration itself. This Panglossian venture into the swampy present will soothe- and terrify readers. ISBN 9781324006459
