(  ) curious_squid | Apr 5, 2021 |  Joop-le-philosophe | Mar 16, 2021 | Novela posmoderna- años 80- Rock music-adolescentes americanos GermanRestrepo | Feb 24, 2021 | This book is empty, alienating, and perfectly communicates the rich, vapid, etc lifestyle of greater-LA in the early 80s among the Gen-X children of other horrible people. It was important to remember not to judge the book by just how much I hated the characters and environment described, but based on the author’s skill in communicating the horror. (As a (late) Gen X person from a far more middle class and east coast upbringing, most of this is actually fairly different than how I think of “my generation”; location and social class matters at least as much as time.) (  ) octal | Jan 1, 2021 | Weak. A 'Catcher in the Rye' for the MTV gen? WTF?!? Poor writing that flows quickly like an empty video but no content or emotion. The book should come with some pharmaceuticals just to make it interesting or bearable. The themes and feeling started to come through in the last few pages, but even here they aren't developed and after 200 pages, I just didn't care. I wonder if the buyer for this work read only the last few pages or if the last few pages were the original 'treatment'. The previous 200 pages seem like they were written the night before the 'paper' was due for an entry-level freshman lit class. (  ) drew_asson | Dec 3, 2020 |
 The narrator, Clay, and his friends - who have names like Rip, Blair, Kim, Cliff, Trent and Alana - all drive BMW's and Porsches, hang out at the Polo Lounge and Spago, and spend their trust funds on designer clothing, porno films and, of course, liquor and drugs. None of them, so far as the reader can tell, has any ambitions, aspirations, or interest in the world at large. And their philosophy, if they have any at all, represents a particularly nasty combination of EST and Machiavelli: ''If you want something, you have the right to take it. If you want to do something, you have the right to do it.'' Pertence à sérieClay (1) Está contido emTem a adaptação
Returning to Los Angeles from his Eastern college for a Christmas vacation in the early 1980s, Clay "reenters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porsches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine ... A raw, powerful portrait of a lost generation."--Back cover. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
