Add a CommentThe author brings together his version of bohemians lifestyle and that of the bourgeois, hard headed businessman. Whether his theses has merit is still open. However, he does a great service to intellectuals, junior variety types who may not be aware of the career paths that await. Humour in the Intellectual Life chapter is priceless. The faux lifestyles to mimic a life they (the BoBo's) couldn't want to live is brought out as well. The BoBo's are those that combine and mesh lifestyles of both the bohemian and the bourgeois. Not many might agree, and the author recognizes at the end the real conflicts are between those who have accepted the fusion and those that do not. Not sure where he gets his facts, so it appears he works from anecdote. Still a good read for that newly minted BA, MA.
