A Short History of Rudeness: Manners, Morals, and Misbehavior in Modern America
by Mark Caldwell
On This Page
Description
"In his thought-provoking new book, literary/social critic Mark Caldwell gives us a history of the demise of manners and charts the triumphant progress of rudeness in America. Touching on aspects of both our public and private lives, including work, family, and sex, he examines how the rules of behavior inevitably change and explains why, no matter how hard we try, we can never return to a golden era of civilized manners and mores."--Jacket.Tags

I started suffering within the first chapter then read a few GR reviews which indicated that this book does not get better. Life is too short to read books not liked. Abandoned.
