Tacky : love letters to the worst culture we have to offer / Rax King. by King, Rax, author. New York : Vintage Books, a division of Penguin Random House LLC, [2021] Subjects King, Rax.   Popular culture -- United States. ISBN:  9780593312728 (paperback) : 0593312724 (paperback) Description:  193 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "TACKY is about the power of pop culture -- like any art, low or high -- to imprint itself on our lives and shape our experiences, no matter one's commitment to "good" taste.

Each essay revolves around a different maligned (and yet, Rax would argue, vital) cultural artifact and its entwinement with Rax's millennial coming-of-age: an essay about the gym-tan-laundry exuberance of Jersey Shore morphs into an excavation of grief over the death of her father, who loved the show; in another, Guy Fieri helps her heal from an abusive relationship. The result is a collection that captures a personal and generational experience with clarity, humor, and heartfelt honesty"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 814.6 King Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 814.6 King Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 814.6 King Ki Checked out 05/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList
