[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His book Bobos in Paradise was great at the time. [/quote] Pretty much this. There are fresher, more insightful voices out there now.[/quote] He was in his late 30s when that book came out and it was quite a hit. I think that success led him to try and brand himself as a Tom Wolfe for the 00s and it got repetitive. At some point you aren’t exposing the foibles of the UMC any longer; you’re just reminding everyone that you’re an even richer dude celebrating them. [/quote] Ding ding ding. To a person, everyone I know who affirmatively loved/loves that book is a rapacious monster, regardless of purported political affiliation.[/quote]
