## Description
From the Inside Flap
poignant, and revealing, this meditation on the sweet temptation of wealth and the vainglorious quest for paradise as they exist in Aspen, Colorado, features a "cast of characters (that) includes such barn-size satirical targets as exclusive health clubs, over-the-hill drug dealers and movie stars and rock stars of wattages bright and dim" (The New Republic).
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Replace Aspen with somewhere else, the stories stay the same
*by E***B on 29 May 2011*
This is not Conover's best work...."Newjack" about his stint as a prison guard is his best by far.But, this is a solid book. It is dated, and reading about the Aspen of the 1980s is pretty funny. Don Johnson? John Denver? Who? But, replace the names with up-to-date celebrities and his analysis of the culture of the rich is pretty much dead on, maybe moreso today than it was then. He describes the construction of a 70,000 square foot mansion, or crazy parties - and there is little different from the excesses Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco, Bernie Madoff, etc.One aspect of the book that seems less current is the "New Age" healers, etc., that populated Aspen at the time he was there. That part didn't seem to hold up very well in the present day. Also, it's the one section where Genoways is clearly judgemental - but without turning the mirror on himself. And, drugs are part of the culture, but he gives them a little more attention than they deserve (but cocaine was everywhere in the late '80s, so at the time it probably seemed very current).He does a better job of exposing his own flaws in the rest of the book, and how he gets sucked into this "lifestyle" (a relevant word in the text). He's not trying to act better than anyone, and so the reader can accept him as a reliable narrator. He has great skill with relating conversations and anecdotes, and his attention to detail is marvelous.In 2011, a reader obviously won't pick this up to learn anything current about 1993 Aspen, Colorado. But, if you read it as an "ethnography" of an insular, high-end 'culture,' I think there are still things to learn. If you have a bunch of large houses in your town, but never see the residents, this will help explain why - it's because they don't view themselves as citizens of the same place you are, and they don't want their paths to cross with yours. This book will give you a look into that world, even if it has nothing to do with where you live.Read Conover's "Newjack" or "Rolling Nowhere" first, but this is good too (I did not really care for his new "Roads of Men" book, but it has its moments as well).

Interesting Commentary
*by F***G on 15 April 2010*
Interesting commentary on a slice of society we seem to only know from the entertainment shows or gossip sections of newspapers. It should be noted that this book is dated. In over 10 years, I am sure Aspen has changed some and the main players have changed or just been replaced.The author writes well, has insightful commentary. Some reviews complain that the book jumps around and is a bunch of "mini" stories. I thought the book flowed well. The author took different jobs and moved through different circles of Aspen society, so the book had to move with him.If you ever did the "circut" of working resort jobs: beach towns in the summer and ski resorts in the winter, this book may resonate more with you than someone who has never lived in a resort town. It certainly is a society of us and them of the many sub-groups/cultures that inhabit those towns and the author captures that very well.Overall, an easy and enjoyable read, with some thought provoking passages and commentary.
