New at Reason: Michael C. Moynihan on the Bright Young People
Those
who think America’s rapacious celebrity culture—heirs and
heiresses whose only discernable talent is the effortless credit
card swipe—is unique in its excess and vapidity are advised to read
British writer D. J. Taylor’s Bright Young People, writes
Michael C. Moynihan in The Wilson Quarterly, an engrossing
social history of the blue bloods, bohos, and bobos who
constituted the “lost generation” of post–World War I
England.
