I've made a decision that I feel very good about: the theme of my summer fiction reading this year is going to be snobbery.This dovetails with my interest in the ways that status and hierarchies limit political change and fuel backlashes.But snob fiction is the fun, lighthearted cousin: books that focus on the odd habits and eccentric preoccupations of people at the top of a particular status hierarchy, and the wild flailing that results when an outsider tries to gain entry or an insider tries to escape.
