A modern classic now available from Grove Press, Being There is one of the most popular and significant works from a writer of international stature. It is the story of Chauncey Gardiner - Chance, an enigmatic but distinguished man who emerges from nowhere to become an heir to the throne of a Wall Street tycoon, a presidential policy adviser, and a media icon. Truly "a man without qualities," Chance's straightforward responses to popular concerns are heralded as visionary. But though everyone is quoting him, no one is sure what he's really saying. And filling in the blanks in his background proves impossible. Being There is a brilliantly satiric look at the unreality of American media culture that is, if anything, more trenchant now than ever.

media hype//媒体的力量，隐喻的过度使用
评分a man under the TV, beyond sex, money, politics and authority
评分少数啃完的英语原著之一。大二时外教指定看的，对现代社会中人性的扭曲和政治的荒唐进行了辛辣的讽刺，情节也显得滑稽。
评分2017.8. 8月中旬帮老路收拾她在费城的倒数第二个住所时，她把这本书还有一些其他的狗屎塞给了我，说这本书是她在欧洲airbnb时候房主塞给她的。8月底在大阪去京都的车上开始看的。Couldn't be more sarcastic in a Trump's America!
评分改编成的电影同样成功.喜欢这样的一个MR CHANCE
