The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in An Age of Diminishing Expectations b

Description: The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch The classic The New York Times bestseller, with a new introduction from much-lauded The Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description When The Culture of Narcissism was first published in 1979, Christopher Lasch was hailed as a "biblical prophet" (Time). Laschs identification of narcissism as not only an individual ailment but also a burgeoning social epidemic was ground-breaking. His diagnosis of American culture is even more relevant today, predicting the limitless expansion of the anxious and grasping narcissistic self into every part of American life. Author Biography Christopher Lasch (1932–1994), professor of history at the University of Rochester, wrote, among many other works, The True and Only Heaven: Progress and Its Critics and the best-selling Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy. Review "Lasch took in a remarkable range of contemporary experience, making many observations that, if anything, ring more true today." -- Lee Siegel - The New York Times"Morbidly clever, brilliantly on target, idiosyncratically compelling." -- Alan Wolfe - The New Republic"A bestseller in 1979, this outstanding analysis is enjoying a resurgence, being reissued with a new introduction by EJ Dionne Jr, who praises Laschs "intellectually rebellious spirit"." -- The Herald Review Quote "Morbidly clever, brilliantly on target, idiosyncratically compelling."
