Bücher von Benjamin DeMott

An empathetic description of America's social and cultural scene. It proposes that the age of liberation has created as many inhibitions as it has abolished; that some of her freedoms could be used with a sharper sense of tact; and that some freedoms that have been lost are worth remembering.

A collection of 15 essays that appeared between 1966 and 1969 in publications such as "The New York Times" and "Esquire". The author discusses many different topics - music, violence in Mississippi, student revolts - but one theme unifies the material: people ought to use their imaginations more.
