The Rediscovery of Jones: Studies in the Obvious

Written by a longtime New York Times columnist, The Rediscovery of Jones argues that the debunkers and critics of the 1920s had lost sight of any actual Americans in their critiques of Babbittry, the "booboisie," and other concepts purporting to represent the average American. Strunsky attempts to pierce through these misperceptions and distortions and restore some perspective to our understanding of the actual lives of ordinary people.
