Now, in \"Don't Get Too Comfortable,\" Rakoff moves from the personal to the public, journeying into the land of unchecked plenty that is contemporary America. Rarely have greed, vanity, selfishness, and vapidity been so mercilessly and wittily skewered. \u003cbr\u003eSomewhere along the line, our healthy self-regard has exploded into obliterating narcissism; our manic getting and spending have now become celebrated as moral virtues. Whether contrasting the elegance of one of the last flights of the supersonic Concorde with the good-times-and-chicken-wings populism of Hooters Air, working as a cabana boy at a South Beach hotel, or traveling to a private island off the coast of Belize to watch a soft-core video shoot--where he is provided with his very own personal manservant--Rakoff takes us on a bitingly funny grand tour of our culture of excess. He comes away from his explorations hilariously horrified. \u003cbr\u003eAt once a Wildean satire of our ridiculous culture of overconsumption and a plea for a little human decency, \"Don't Get Too Comfortable\" shows that far from being bobos in paradise, we're in a special circle of gilded-age hell.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Doubleday","offers":[{"title":"Don't Get Too Comfortable | David Rakoff | Hardcover | 9780385510363 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1780570","offer_id":50765900906754,"sku":"1780570","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61fdtABpyEL.jpg?v=1792088297","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/dont-get-too-comfortable","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
