Articles Contained in SIRS Enduring Issues 2002. Originally Published: The Country Club Bubble, June 2001; pp. 98+.
"Great American novels and short stories, especially of the 1920s, couldn't have been written without a country club to bring out the anguish of classism. From Dreiser and Fitzgerald to Marquand and O'Hara, grill rooms and locker rooms appear as citadels of America's aristocracy of inherited wealth. They were the places you couldn't get in, not because you didn't have the money...but merely because you had the wrong DNA. Country clubs aroused the most painful sort of envy." (WORTH) This article explores the exclusivity of country clubs as a microcosm of the effects of wealth.
