Read Jeff Gordinier's posts on the Penguin BlogIn this simultaneously hilarious and incisive manifesto for a generation that's never had much use for manifestos, Gordinier suggests that for the first time since the Smells Like Teen Spiritbreakthrough of the early 1990s, Gen X has what it takes to rescue American culture from a state of collapse.
