TYPICAL OF THE TIMES: GROWING UP IN THE CULTURE OF SPECTACLE/WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN? Is two books in one and includes the following works: TYPICAL OF THE TIMES: GROWING UP IN THE CULTURE OF SPECTACLE is a riveting stream of consciousness memoir from Jaime Clarke about coming of age during the Age of Spectacle, when technological advances brought pop culture tragicomedy to the masses, binding us all with common experiences and memories--whether we wanted to experience them or not. The drumbeat of these experiences builds from the controversy over the resignation of the newly-minted Miss America Vanessa Williams over her appearance in Penthouse through the Challenger explosion and on through to the spectacle of the contested 2000 Presidential election, ending with the calamity of September 11. Along the way, Clarke recounts his upbringing in Arizona and his aspirations to become a writer, which take him to Bennington College in Vermont and ultimately to New York City. Equal parts horrifying and horrifyingly honest, Typical of the Times is the definitive Generation X memoir. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN? by Charlie Martens, the antihero of the trilogy of novels VERNON DOWNS, WORLD GONE WATER, and GARDEN LAKES by Jaime Clarke, carries on the tradition of Michel de Montaigne's introspective investigations into the expanse of human existence, from the mundane to the deeply profound.
