Where the Suckers Moon, Rothenberg, Randall

One can read Rothenbergs book as the behind-the-scenes chronicle of the brief and very troubled marriage between a beleaguered automobile company and Wieden & Kennedy, an aggressively hip ad agency whose creative director despised cars. One can read it as a history of advertisings journey from the conventionally upbeat slogan Helps Build Strong Bodies 12 Ways to the supercool nineties minimalism of Bo Knows. Either way, Where the Suckers Moon is a face-paced, insightful, and occasionally appalling look at an industry whose obsession with image has affected our entireculture.
