They also engage in camaraderie and community care, comforting each other after scrapes, noticing each other&rsquo;s gifts, and sharing an ice cream truck&rsquo;s bounty. . . . Affirming the strengths of shared experiences and power drawn from collective appreciation, the creators show how a childhood can engender joy that follows 'everywhere I&rsquo;d ever go.'&rdquo; --Publishers Weekly, starred review

&ldquo;In The Nineties, Klosterman examines the social, political and cultural history of the era with his signature wit. It&rsquo;s a fascinating trip down memory lane.&rdquo; &mdash;Time &ldquo;An engaging, nuanced and literate take on the alternately dynamic and diffident decade.&rdquo; &mdash;Washington Post&ldquo;Serving up the moments and meanings of a modern decade in a few hundred pages is no easy task, but Chuck Klosterman has managed to boil a hearty stew of insight. . . . [Klosterman is] a master of smooth setups and downbeat finishes.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today  &ldquo;[Klosterman is] Generation X&rsquo;s definitive chronicler of culture.&rdquo; &mdash;GQ&ldquo;From one of our great chroniclers of pop culture comes this entertaining romp through the twilight years of the twentieth century. . . . Roving across flashpoints in movies, music, and politics, Klosterman captures a world where apathy was the defining tone, art was experiencing a seismic shift, and celebrity culture was on the eve of a digital explosion.&rdquo; &mdash;Esquire &ldquo;Simultaneously a deep and light sprint through the decade that doesn&rsquo;t just namecheck people and bands and movies, but burrows under as to why they were important then. And what that means today. . . . Klosterman zips in and around the entirety of the decade, and even readers who were up on pop culture at the time will be reminded of things they haven&rsquo;t thought about in two or more decades. . . . If you came of age in the &rsquo;90s, you will love The Nineties. If not, it&rsquo;s a singularly wonderful analytical and historical book of a time not so long ago.&rdquo; &mdash;Houston Press&ldquo;Leave it to Chuck Klosterman to examine the decade in a fresh, unpredictable way that avoids nostalgia and easy generalizations. . . . Klosterman&rsquo;s text is never anything less than wise, challenging and winningly idiosyncratic.&rdquo; &mdash;Pittsburgh Post-Gazette&ldquo;An informative, endlessly entertaining look back at the 1990s. . . . What [Klosterman] always succeeds at is conveying an anecdote, oddity, or thought exercise about the decade that you immediately want to share with a friend.&rdquo; &mdash;BuzzFeed&ldquo;Always an astute cultural observer and a fan of deep dives into any subject, Klosterman is focused here on a decade in American life that he says is often portrayed as &lsquo;a low-risk grunge cartoon&rsquo; . . . Klosterman&rsquo;s gift is seizing on those moments that any Gen Xer can readily recall and pulling the strings a bit to put it in some kind of historical perspective.&rdquo; &mdash;Associated Press&ldquo;Klosterman&rsquo;s remarkable book made me rethink my decade and rethink myself.&rdquo; &mdash;Airmail &#160; &ldquo;The nineties continue to fascinate, especially with a wonderful guide like Chuck Klosterman.&rdquo; &mdash;Toronto Star&ldquo;A book that you&rsquo;ll read in about two days, but then want to re-read to make sure you didn&rsquo;t miss anything.&rdquo; &mdash;Fatherly&ldquo;[The Nineties] attempts a comprehensive analysis of the texture of the 1990s&mdash;&lsquo;the feeling of the era.&rsquo; Perhaps no cultural critic is better suited for this task than Klosterman. . . . By immersing himself in the objectivity furnished by the past, Klosterman opens a critical space wherein we can consider the present.&rdquo; &mdash;SPIN&ldquo;Klosterman zooms in on the interplay between the titular decade&rsquo;s opposing generations&mdash;Generation X and Baby Boomers&mdash;and puts the era&rsquo;s technological transformations in their rightful historical contexts. . . . His greatest service here is his resistance to assign sharp edges where there is only an underwhelming, fuzzy consensus.&rdquo; &mdash;Vulture, &ldquo;49 Books We Can&rsquo;t Wait to Read in 2022&rdquo;&ldquo;Klosterman is far too ambitious to merely let readers wallow in nostalgia and instead looks at the &rsquo;90s by applying the accessible style of cultural criticism that has been his brand during a career that has now spanned 12 books. The Nineties examines everything from pop culture (Ross and Rachel) to politics (Ross Perot and Ralph Nader), as well as the Information Age&rsquo;s age of innocence when the internet was looming out there somewhere, waiting to happen and transform society.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle&ldquo;[T]he 1990s is about the arrival of new media technologies that would upend our lives in endless ways large and small. . . . Klosterman&rsquo;s take on all of this often is insightful, prompting the reader to think about what the internet and social media have done to our brains, to our sense of selves, to our physical environments. . . . [A]n entertaining tour. Klosterman skillfully analyzes Gen-X touchstones like Quentin Tarantino and &lsquo;Seinfeld,&rsquo; Nirvana and Garth Brooks.&rdquo; &mdash;The Oregonian&ldquo;Wonderfully researched, compellingly written, and often very funny, this is a superb reassessment of an underappreciated decade from a stupendously gifted essayist.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;An entertaining journey through the last decade of the 20th&#160;century. . . . [Klosterman] brings the decade to vivid new life. . . . As in his previous books of cultural criticism, Klosterman delivers a multifaceted portrait that&rsquo;s both fun and insightful. A fascinating examination of a period still remembered by most, refreshingly free of unnecessary mythmaking.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus (starred review)&ldquo;There&rsquo;s not much missing from this delightful collection of quotes and culture from the era that most find difficult to define. . . . With humor and history (supported by articles, TV news segments, advertisements, and interviews), Klosterman&rsquo;s volume is the perfect guide for millennials who wear vintage t-shirts ironically. From politics to Prozac, a fascinating exploration of Generation X from the perspective of those who lived it and witnessed it. Readers will be raiding closets for mom jeans and drawers for scrunchies after reading this nostalgia-inducing book.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&ldquo;The Nineties Is a fun and funny romp through a decade just now distant enough to be viewed in historical relief. Chuck Klosterman is old enough to have grown up in the old order of culture and politics that began to tremble, and eventually collapse, during the 1990s; he&rsquo;s young enough to be immersed fully in the new societal currents that began in those years and define us now. For all the delight Klosterman takes in his narrative excursions, his sketches of the Bill Clinton years evoke melancholy. For a moment, it seemed plausible that a young new president could play usher to a post-Cold War era of humane and rational politics. For now, at least, we must recall the 1990s as the soil in which our contemporary politics of contempt, paranoia, alienation, and violence blossomed.&rdquo; &mdash;John Harris, founding editor, Politico&ldquo;The Nineties is a fascinating, wholly original exploration of a bewilderingly bygone time, written by one of our wisest, wryest cultural critics. Who else could pull Quentin Tarantino, college football, and Alan Greenspan&mdash;not to mention Tiger Woods, Dick Morris, and Reality Bites&mdash;into a coherent examination of a world about to undergo a paradigm shift?&rdquo; &mdash;Louisa Thomas, staff writer, The New Yorker&ldquo;This might be the book Chuck Klosterman was born to write: a witty and unpredictable history of the decade that just won't go away. From OJ to AOL to the GOP, he has a theory about everything, and a story about&#160;how all of it fits together.&rdquo; &mdash;Kelefa Sanneh, author of Major Labels&ldquo;Chuck Klosterman has done something remarkable and, to be honest, frightening. He's hacked his way through the great clutter of our information age, where we know everything but understand nothing, to arrive at a magical oasis of reckoning and recognition, to discover a fact that's been hiding in plain sight, the only fact that matters anymore, really, namely this: the 1990s were the last decade of the United States of America, as a functioning cohesive society and as an idea. Buy this book right now, not because of the smart history it unspools, although that's a delight, but because of the window it gives you into the future.&rdquo; &mdash;Wright Thompson, author of Pappyland

Vox's Top Fall Books Not to Miss &bull; A holiday gift guide pick from The Boston Globe, Mental Floss, and Paste&ldquo;Major Labels [is] ecumenical and all-embracing. . . . [Sanneh] has a subtle and flexible style, and great powers of distillation. . . . The best thing about Sanneh may be that he subtly makes you question your beliefs.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Times  &ldquo;Sanneh brings a contagious zeal for genres and cross-fertilizations to artists and records that are now playlists for an increasingly diverse America.&rdquo; &mdash;Oprah Daily  &ldquo;Mr. Sanneh, a staff writer for the New Yorker, gets high marks both for his encyclopedic knowledge and his breadth of taste. He also writes like an angel, making Major Labels one of the best books of its kind in decades.&rdquo; &mdash;Wall Street Journal  &ldquo;For readers who love it all, there&rsquo;s Kelefa Sanneh&rsquo;s Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres, which covers everything from disco to pop to rap music, all explored with sparkling wit and enthusiasm. Sanneh, a staff writer for the New Yorker, is not only on the music beat, but he&rsquo;s an&#160;active fan&#160;(his essay there recently about&#160;growing up punk&#160;is not to be missed) and it shows in this immensely engaging book.&rdquo; &mdash;Kate Tuttle, The Boston Globe &ldquo;As a guide to the erosion of fervent musical loyalties that seems to be under way, few could have better credentials than the New Yorker staff writer Kelefa Sanneh, who has published a delightfully provocative new book, Major Labels.&rdquo; &mdash;The Atlantic&ldquo;Full of clear, concise writing about Boy George and George Strait, Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys, Kacey Musgraves and Casey Kasem . . . If you need a clear explanation of how Detroit techno and Chicago house helped give birth to British rave culture, it&rsquo;s here, as are pithy insights on familiar superstars . . . a formidable feat of cogent analysis.&rdquo; &mdash;Philadelphia Inquirer &ldquo;One of the most essential writers of music criticism working today. . . . Sanneh is an ideal guide for this journey, with a purist&rsquo;s depth of knowledge and a gourmand&rsquo;s indiscriminate love of the medium . . . perfectly fascinating.&rdquo; &mdash;Vox&ldquo;Kelefa Sanneh has achieved the impossible. Major Labels somehow manages to unspool everything you need to know about 50 years of music, but more impressively, he makes you care about all of it. Even the stuff you don&rsquo;t care about. It&rsquo;s funny, it&rsquo;s personal and as a piece of writing, the book borders on poetry.&rdquo; &mdash;David Letterman&ldquo;A beautifully observed history of the last 50 years of music. It f****ing rules, and I recommend it without reservation.&rdquo; &mdash;Tom Breihan, Stereogum&ldquo;A charming stroll through our sometimes useful, sometimes debilitating compartmentalizing of sounds. The point is not another survey of familiar classics, but rather, a far more ambitious consideration of how styles fuse and expand&mdash;in ways audiences often aren&rsquo;t comfortable accepting.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Tribune Fall Book Preview&ldquo;An essential document from an inimitable critic.&rdquo; &mdash;Vulture &ldquo;This is quite simply a perfect book for any music lover and an ideal primer on the last 50 years of popular music in the United States. It&rsquo;s written not in the voice of a music critic but that of a deeply engaged and passionate listener . . . A thoroughly enjoyable and perceptive book that champions the art of popular music.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&ldquo;[A] thrilling debut . . .&#160;Equally fascinating are Sanneh&rsquo;s insights into the way race has shaped music, particularly in the overlapping worlds of R&B and rock &rsquo;n&rsquo; roll. This remarkable achievement will be a joy to music lovers, no matter what they prefer to listen to.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;Kelefa Sanneh takes a very ambitious swing with this deep dive into a half century of American music . . . As both an engine of commerce and the driving force behind myriad cultural shifts, popular music has shaped American society in ways we can only begin understand. But it would be hard to find a better guide than Sanneh to help us try.&rdquo; &mdash;LitHub   &ldquo;There have been many attempts at explaining the modern trajectory of pop music, but Major Labels is quite possibly the best version I've ever read. Kelefa&#160;Sanneh is pure talent: an engaging, efficient writer with insightful observations and an openness&#160;of mind other critics only pretend to possess. I'm sure other people will attempt to publish books like this in the future, but they probably don't need to. They should just read this one.&rdquo; &mdash;Chuck Klosterman &#160; &ldquo;Kelefa Sanneh is somehow able to stand back and give the most clearheaded thoughts about the Big Picture while also diving in for the entertaining, memorable detail. Major Labels is a completely enjoyable history that told me a thousand things I didn&rsquo;t know and&mdash;one of the book&rsquo;s great pleasures&mdash;made me see lots of musicians I thought I knew, or half-knew, in a whole new light.&rdquo; &mdash;Ira Glass, host of This American Life &#160; &ldquo;A lively, heartfelt exploration of the many worlds of popular music. . . . Throughout, the author shows himself to be a master of the mot juste . . . but it&rsquo;s clear that he&rsquo;s listened to just about everything with ears and mind wide open. A pleasure&mdash;and an education&mdash;for any music fan.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus (starred review) &#160; &ldquo;Major Labels is the most elegant history of popular music ever written. That may sound like faint praise to those who want their pop criticism to channel raw passion, yet passion comes in many forms. Sanneh not only delivers a coolly dazzling overview of the battlefields of genre but also revels open-heartedly in the music itself, his taste unbound by dogma or prejudice. The operative word is keen: zealous in spirit, exact in execution, ferociously acute from the first sentence to the last.&rdquo; &mdash;Alex Ross, music critic of The New Yorker and author of Wagnerism
