Written originally for a special issue of The New Yorker and reissued here with a new forward by the author, Within the Context of No Context is George W. S. Trows brilliant exposition on the state of American culture and twentiethcentury life. Published to widespread acclaim, Within the Context of No Context became an immediate classic and is, to this day, a favorite work of writers and critics alike. Both a chilling commentary on the times in which it was written and an eerie premonition of the future, Trows work locates and traces, describes and analyzes the components of change in contemporary America a culture increasingly determined by the shallow worlds of consumer products, daytime television, and celebrity heroes. This elegant little book is essential reading for anyone interested in the demise, the terminal silliness, of our culture. John Irving, The New York Times Book Review; In this elegant, poignant essay, written with the grace of a master stylist, George Trow articulates the accelerated impermanence of American culture with a precision that is both flaunting and devastating. Rudy Wurlitrer; Within the Context of No Context is a masterpiece of the century that belongs on a shelf next to Theodore Adornos Minima Moralia and Guy Debords The Society of the Spectacle. Michael Tolkin; Within the Context of No Context may appear to be a book of the mind, for it is suffused with such a keen intelligence, but it is actually a book of the heart passionate, brave, and stirring. Sue Halpern.
