THE NINETIES - CHUCK KLOSTERMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

An instant New York Times bestseller!Informative  endlessly entertaining.”—BuzzFeed Generation
X’s definitive chronicler of culture.”—GQFrom the author of But What If We’re Wrong comes an
insightful  funny reckoning with a pivotal decadeIt was long ago  but not as long as it seems:
The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. In between  one presidential election was
allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. Landlines
fell to cell phones  the internet exploded  and pop culture accelerated without the aid of
technology that remembered everything. It was the last era with a real mainstream to either
identify with or oppose. The ’90s brought about a revolution in the human condition  and a
shift in consciousness  that we’re still struggling to understand. Happily  Chuck Klosterman is
more than up to the job.In The Nineties  Klosterman dissects the film  the music  the sports 
the TV  the pre-9 11 politics  the changes regarding race and class and sexuality  the yin yang
of Oprah and Alan Greenspan  and (almost) everything else. The result is a multidimensional
masterpiece  a work of synthesis so smart and delightful that future historians might well
refer to this entire period as Klostermanian.
