Scott Timberg on Creative Destruction

CultureCrash at LA Central Library

December 5, 2014 by Scott Timberg

Here is some information on my book, which Yale University Press published in 2015. (Buy it from Powell's, here.) Some advance praise: With coolness and equanimity, Scott Timberg tells what in less-skilled hands could have been an overwrought horror story: the end of culture as we have known … [Read More...]
