Hard seconding Fussell's Class. Some of the specifics around signaling have changed in the past few decades since it was written (a lot being more the whims of fashion trends than anything else), but if anything the societal bands outlined have more clearly striated since then.
- handrous 5y agoI'd love something more recent that treated the same subject anywhere close to as well. The near-contemporary and somewhat-related The Official Preppy Handbook received a sequel some years ago, but it's lazy crap with none of the insight or wry humor of the original. Awful little scrap-book that got published based on the reputation (and sales figures, I'm sure) of the original. Very disappointing.
