Extensive research and an engaging narrative style untangle the myths and presuppositions surrounding the Oprah Book Club and reveal its complex and far-reaching cultural influence, confronting head-on how the club became a crucible for the heated clash between high and low literary taste, with the most extensive analysis yet of the Oprah Winfrey-Jonathan Franzen contretemps.
