Document Summary
Today"s equivalent of a stand up comedian. Man in the white suit - usually appeared in all white suit (colonel sander"s-esque) Talked about american life- bad views, hypocrites. Similar to twain (looked similar to twain-white suit) Wrote non-fiction, breakthrough= bonfire of the vanities. Founded the new journalism - theorist and practitioner. 1965 later- parody, attack, satirize american culture, first person, critical and opinionated. 1st person journalism where the journalism is a part of the story themselves- tells how what happens affects them. Ex- super bowl, gambling in las vegas. How easy and nice life can be in the cocoon of love. Paul clay mention- george and his sunday love enjoy cheap and shallow art. Mondrian color squares: repeated (products, cars, novel), put into mainstream. Art behind story- tawdry and cheap art. Welcome to the city- about city, glamour. Look alike of a celebrity is her doom- life ruined for the way she looks, not controlled.
