Summary:
"In hardcover together for the first time, New York Times columnist
David
Brooks’s acclaimed bestsellers, Bobos in
Paradise
and On
Paradise
Drive
, with a new introduction by the author. In Bobos in
Paradise
,
Brooks
coined a term as he explored the ascendance of the “bourgeois bohemian”—a new generation melding capitalist enterprise with counterculture values. On
Paradise
Drive
delves deeper into the American character, wittily dissecting the nation’s ongoing search for personal utopia— the kind that can be achieved through hard work, profit, masterful living, and maybe a really great country house. Shrewd and sharp, yet genial and reasoned, The
Paradise
Suite confirms
Brooks
as a true public intellectual and one of the most insightful social commentators of his age."--From publisher.
