The Baffler Magazine #15: Civilization with a Krag

3.8/5 ( ratings)

In this issue, Baffler content providers ponder what happens when the mundane things of consumer life--dolls, sports, restaurants, pop music, museums--are given over to the "concept" people to make really big. The results are quintessentially American, and include visits to the Super Bowl, American Girl Place, an Objectivist-owned hautecuisine joint, and Frank Gehry's McGuggenheim.
