THE NINETIES - CHUCK KLOSTERMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

An instant New York Times bestseller!   “Informative  endlessly entertaining.”— BuzzFeed  
“Generation X’s definitive chronicler of culture.”— GQ   From the author of But What If We’re
Wrong comes an insightful  funny reckoning with a pivotal decade  It 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 .
