In Class Paul Fussell explodes the sacred American myth of social equality with eagle-eyed irreverence and iconoclastic wit. This bestselling, superbly researched, exquisitely observed guide to the signs, symbols, and customs of the American class system is always outrageously on the mark as Fussell shows us how our status is revealed by everything we do, say, and own. He describes the houses, objects, artifacts, speech, clothing styles, and intellectual proclivities of American classes from the top to the bottom and everybody — you’ll surely recognize yourself — in between. Class is guaranteed to amuse and infuriate, whether your class is so high it’s out of sight (literally) or you are, alas, a sinking victim of prole drift.
In his highly entertaining observations of class in America, Fussell shows how our status is revealed by everything we do, say, and own. Funny, insightful, and at times outrageous, Class is guaranteed to amuse everyone, from high-class to low. Line drawings throughout.
