In Spoilt Rotten, social commentator Theodore Dalrymple (Our Culture or What is Left of It, 2009) grinds his axe at our sentimentality-centric culture where feelings have become the yardstick of everything we do: safe driving, education, taking of responsibility (none), sentimentality (everywhere). In this forensic polemic of maudlin popular culture from X-factor to Super Nannies, Dalrymple wields his scalpel at all our modern sacred cows. Children will be speechless, for once, parents will hang their heads in shame!

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this perceptive and witty book, Theodore Dalrymple unmasks the hidden sentimentality that is suffocating public life. Under themultiple guises of raising children well, caring for the underprivileged, assisting the less able and doing good generally, we are achieving quite the opposite. Dalrymple takes the reader on both an entertaining and at times shocking journey through social, political, popular and literary issues as diverse as child tantrums, aggression, educational reform, honour killings, sexual abuse, public emotions and the role of suffering, and shows the perverse results when we abandon logic in favour of the cult of feeling. The first biting analysis of our obsession with sentimentality and why it will ruin us. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
