This anthology of pioneering, highly readable essays on American popular culture focuses on how highbrow art and lowbrow entertainment have always dynamically and fruitfully interpenetrated one other in the USA. That openness to crossover is why American popular culture has come to dominate the globe. The proof that we live in a Nobrow Age? What more is needed than the award of the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature to Bob Dylan! And who best to map out the larger cultural context than the contributors to this lively volume, whose coeditor and star contributor is the redoubtable Peter “Nobrow” Swirski?
