"A bestseller in 1979, this outstanding analysis is enjoying a resurgence, being reissued with a new introduction by EJ Dionne Jr..." The Herald

When The Culture of Narcissism was first published in 1979, Christopher Lasch was hailed as a "biblical prophet" (Time). Lasch's identification of narcissism as not only an individual ailment but also a burgeoning social epidemic was ground-breaking. His diagnosis of American culture is even more relevant today, predicting the limitless expansion of the anxious and grasping narcissistic self into every part of American life.

Review

Morbidly clever, brilliantly on target, idiosyncratically compelling. --Alan Wolfe

Lasch took in a remarkable range of contemporary experience, making many observations that, if anything, ring more true today. --Lee Siegel

Lasch has gone to the heart of our culture. The insights into personality and its social context are stunning. --Michael Rogin, University of California, Berkeley
