Reviews
The author is savvy enough to conduct most of his research in the real world. This is the rare book project that forces the writer to shop on Rodeo Drive, leaf through Vanity Fair ... and visit the most extravagant spots in Las Vegas.... [An] engaging addition to the growing field of Luxe Lit., Twitchell addresses conspicuous consumption in a new way, free of the superior tone often adopted by his academic peers. He embarks on a course of fieldwork that is both absurdist and charming, as he chats up Fendi salespeople and stands slack-jawed in the lobby of the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas.... He comes away with insights about the American quest for luxury products and provides a history of such yearning. With its intelligence and wit, Twitchell's exploration of consumerism belongs in every shopping bag., Twitchell is at his best here: witty, observant, and self-deprecating... Living It Up is a pleasure to read. Twitchell is an engaging and entertaining writer., Interesting tidbits... Twitchell makes the case for a mild defense of luxury in that its mass consumption ultimately lifts up the masses economically., "The author is savvy enough to conduct most of his research in the real world. This is the rare book project that forces the writer to shop on Rodeo Drive, leaf through Vanity Fair ... and visit the most extravagant spots in Las Vegas.... [An] engaging addition to the growing field of Luxe Lit." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times, "Twitchell makes a persuasive argument that the desire for status goods provides a cohesive bond." -- Business Week, "Twitchell is at his best here: witty, observant, and self-deprecating...

Twitchell is an engaging and entertaining writer." -- Ian Brailsford, Australasian Journal of American Studies, "The author is savvy enough to conduct most of his research in the real world. This is the rare book project that forces the writer to shop on Rodeo Drive, leaf through Vanity Fair... and visit the most extravagant spots in Las Vegas.... [An] engaging addition to the growing field of Luxe Lit." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times, "Exuberant, sprightly, mischievous, gaudy, dippy, endlessly entertaining, and also a bit sad." -- Eugen Weber, TLS, "Twitchell is an amusingly sassy writer, and he clearly had so much fun researching this book." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian, "Twitchell addresses conspicuous consumption in a new way, free of the superior tone often adopted by his academic peers.
