We Want Some Too

The brilliantly talented Hal Niedzvecki has always been on the cutting edge of Canadian culture and literature. We Want Some Too is his remarkable look at culture at the close of the 20th century. He explores the role and relevance of art to a generation of ambitionless slackers whose careers consist of a series of bad jobs. The author examines the importance of underground artistic impulses and predicts the collapse of both high art and mass culture. His writing wittily and insightfully attributes meaning to the movements and realities of the 20th century. Anyone fascinated by the structures behind pop culture must read this book.
