Crack in the Picture Window

By John Keats

Book Overview

""Crack In The Picture Window"" is a collection of essays written by John Keats, an American journalist and critic, originally published in 1956. The book explores the changing landscape of America in the mid-20th century, particularly the impact of suburbanization and the rise of mass media on American culture.
