The Paradise Suite: Bobos in Paradise and On Paradise Drive
- Used Book in Good Condition
In hardcover together for the first time, New York Times columnist David Brooksâ€™s acclaimed bestsellers, Bobos in Paradise and On Paradise Drive, with a new introduction by the author

David Brooksâ€™s insightful, engaging, and hilarious observations on the nature of America and Americans have drawn comparisons to those of Malcolm Gladwell and Jerry Seinfeld. Christopher Buckley applauds him as â€œthe smart, fun-to-read social critic of his generation.â€

In Bobos in Paradise, Brooks coined a term as he explored the ascendance of the â€œbourgeois bohemianâ€â€”a new generation melding capitalist enterprise with counterculture values. On Paradise Drive delves deeper into the American character, wittily dissecting the nationâ€™s ongoing search for personal utopiaâ€” 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.
