The Paradise Suite Bobos in Paradise and On Paradise Drive
by David Brooks
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 introductory essay by the author. "Brooks's style is so easygoing and his observations so wicked and astute that you won't be able to stop reading. Or laughing" ( Entertainment Weekly ).
David Brooks's insightful, engaging, and hilarious observations on the nature of America and Americans have drawn comparisons to Malcolm Gladwell and Jerry Seinfeld. Christopher Buckley applauds him as "the smart, fun-to-read social critic of his generation."
In Bobos in Paradise, Brooks coined a term as he explored the ascendance of the "bourgeois bohemian"--a new generation melding capitalist enterprise to counterculture values. On Paradise Drive delves deeper into the American character, wittily dissecting the nation's ongoing drive 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.
