Summary
"Over the past three decades, Dubravka Ugrešić has established herself as one of Europe's greatest-- and most entertaining-- thinkers and creators, and it's in her essays that Ugrešić is at her sharpest. With laser focus, she pierces our pop culture, dissecting the absurdity of daily life with a wit and style that's all her own. Whether it's commentary on jaded youth, the ways technology has made us soft in the head, or how wrestling a hotel minibar into a bathtub is the best way to stick it to The Man, Ugresic writes with unmatched honesty and panache."--Back cover.
