Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Brooks makes meaning...out of a seemingly unrelated but vastly entertaining assemblage of images of American life."
-- The New York Times

"A worthy sequel to Bobos....Brooks is a master satirist."
-- The New York Observer

"Delectable....Brooks' style is so easygoing and his observations so wicked and astute that you won't be able to stop reading. Or laughing."
-- Entertainment Weekly

"Brooks is a clever and insightful inspector of the American scene....His earlier book, Bobos in Paradise, was a well-deserved bestseller. On Paradise Drive is just as funny and perceptive."
-- The Wall Street Journal
