Tacky: Love Letters to the Worst Culture We Have to Offer By : Rax King READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : An irreverent and charming collection of deeply personal essays about the joys of low pop culture and bad taste, exploring coming of age in the 2000s in the age of Hot Topic, Creed, and frosted lip gloss --from the James Beard Award-nominated writer of the Catapult column Store-Bought Is Fine" Tacky is about the power of pop culture--like any art--to imprint itself on our lives and shape our experiences, no matter one's commitment to good taste.
