Publisher's Synopsis
Selected from 30 years of cultural criticism, this collection of Richard C. DeBold's work provides an idiosyncratic look at American culture. Topics as diverse as the affect of toys on children in the United States and the structure of the human psyche in modern culture are discussed as DeBold takes pleasure in pointing out America's foibles. A singular take on the American dream dominates many of these essays, as a provocative view of what America can and should be emerges from a barrage of witticisms.
