Don't Get Too Comfortable

David Rakoff's collection of autobiographical essays, Don't Get Too Comfortable, delves into the unchecked plenty of contemporary America. Rakoff mercilessly skewers greed, vanity, selfishness, and vapidity, contrasting the elegance of the Concorde with the populism of Hooters Air. From working as a cabana boy to observing a soft-core video shoot, he offers a bitingly funny tour of our culture of excess, revealing a hilariously horrified perspective on our gilded-age hell.
