Life On A Shoestring: The American Dream

Rating:
Summary: Amazingly Creative Rhetoric
Review: This book is brilliant. It is divided into "eighteen holes" instead of eighteen chapters, and each chapter has 3 to 5 sections, depending on the hole. Each hole asks a rhetorical question about American Life and the American Dream, in search of the nebulous American Dream. It implys that our leaders are golfers and many in America are living on a shoestring. It spans the last forty years in America, and more really. But it really focuses in on the Sixties Generation, the Generation Gap, and the music, art, and media that was spawned by it. In the sixties there was a grand vision for America. By the year two thousand all that was left was getting to the year two thousand. What is our vision now and where are we going for the next forty years?
