Description:
Ron Rosenbaum has been called "a prose master" of"great cultural journalism" by NPR's Maureen Corrigan and Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Powers has called him "one of the few distinctive voices in American journalism". In this monumental collection of three decades of work, Ron Rosenbaum proves once again why he is one of the most provocative, most entertaining, and most wide-ranging writers on the scene. From the beginning of the 1970's to the end of the 90's, Rosenbaum takes readers through three decades of life in America -- the great conspiracies and the mysteries that continue to elude us; the artists and intellectuals who beguile us; the strange moments in our culture that capture the Zeitgeist -- everything from the story of JFK's murdered mistress to the odiousness of "Seinfeld; " from the strange, haunted life of J.D. Salinger to the secrets of Yale's Skull & Bones Society. Brilliant, opinionated, forcefully reported and frequently hilarious, Ron Rosenbaum's work will endure as a vital record of our times.
