Title: A Refreshing Diversion
Review: As the subtitle implies, Klosterman has spent more time and energy thinking deeply about "low culture" than most academics have spent studying the so-called "important" things.This is not an indictment: Pondering things that aren't terribly important -- like what it's like to be in a Guns-N-Roses Tribute Band (for example) -- can be quite refreshing. In fact, I found it to be a welcome diversion from my normal diet of political books.Granted, as a fellow Gen Xer who spent some time in North Dakota, I probably identified with Klosterman more than, say, a 50-year old from New York might. But I figure if every Gen Xer in North Dakota were to purchase this book -- that's at least 250 copies, right there!In all seriousness, I think this book would resonate best with people born between 1968 and 1978.
Is the review positive or negative?
