The Baffler Magazine #15: Civilization with a Krag

The Baffler #15

by Thomas Frank (Editor)

In this Issue, Baffler content providers ponder what happens when the mundane things of everyday life-dolls, sports, restaurants, pop music, museums-are given over to the "concept" people to make really big. The results are quintissentially American, and include visits to the Super Bowl, American Girl Place, an Objectivists-owned haute-cuisine joint, and Frank Gehry's McGuggenheim.

Genres: Politics, Nonfiction
