书籍介绍
A national bestseller, Snobbery examines the discriminating qualities in all of us. With dishy detail, Joseph Epstein skewers all manner of elitism in contemporary America. He offers his arch observations of the new footholds of snobbery: food, fashion, high-achieving children, schools, politics, being with-it, name-dropping, and much more. Clever, incisive, and immensely entertaining, Snobberyexplores the shallows and depths of status and taste -- with enviable results.

辛辣。个人喜欢他说知识分子、犹太人和同性恋那段，相对于其他章节更不磨叽，更朴实，自己也没被套太牢。全书算是一种挺好玩的思路吧。
