The Nineties : When Surface Was Depth

This is an anatomy of a confused decade, the 1990s - a still-warm, still-bizarre, still-confused and confusing decade. The author talks to and about a host of representative figures from the 1990s, some already forgotten, some absolutely emblematic of their times - from Hanson to Alexander McQueen, from Tracey Emin to Ulrika Jonsson, from the Spice Girls to Duran Duran. Painstakingly, sometimes painfully, he puts all the pieces together and starts to make sense of it all.
