Whiteout: Lost In Aspen

WHITEOUT is Ted Conover's classic report on life among the wealthy and the narcissisticâ€“as well as some real peopleâ€“in Aspen, Colorado. Former Hugh Hefner paramour and Playboy executive Barbi Benton holds her annual pajama party. Celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz actually finds someone who doesn't want his picture taken: Hunter Thompson. New Agers claim UFO sightings and seek eternal life. Hardrock miners struggle to hold on to an older way of life in the face of all of this. And above it all is the majestic beauty of the Rockies. Unable to deny the seduction of the Aspen mystique himself, Conover is nonetheless able to keep his distance and emerge with an entertaining and insightful travelogue like few others.

â€œConoverâ€™s ability to give himself entirely to the world he portrays is present again in WHITEOUT: Lost in Aspenâ€“a lucid, witty account that bristles with ironies but stays clear of malice as it traces Aspenâ€™s progress from mining town to hippie hangout to rarefied Hollywood outpost ... Itâ€™s not often that you read a travel book in which you worry that the authorâ€™s soul is in danger. The result is Conoverâ€™s funniest book yet, and one that has much to say about our country in the 1990s.â€ â€” San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
