Russell Jacoby, The Last Intellectuals (Basic Books, 1987; 2000) An analysis of America's forsaken intellectual life. Thanks to gentrification, suburbanization, and academic careerism, Jacoby argues, today's "public intellectuals" are more concerned with tenure than they are with culture; where once there were big thinkers like Edward Wilson and Dwight MacDonald, now there are only wilting lilies.
