To double-track is to be both: counter-cultural and establishment,
rich and poor, a bum with the keys to a country retreat, an exotic
addition to the dinner table who still knows how to find their way
around the silverware. In the 1970s Tom Wolfe located the apex of
doubletracking as the art world, but today, it's a cornerstone of
the middle classes, and a full-blown commonplace of contemporary
life. At root, it's a state of mind born of an ambivalent
relationship to privilege, that, when perfected, allows those with
financial resources the economic benefits of leaning right, and the
cultural benefits of leaning left. It curls around the vocal chords
of private school alumni as they drop their consonants, sprays the
can of legally sanctioned graffiti on the side of the pop-up
container shopping mall, and tones the cores of sweaty executives
attending weekly parkour classes, prancing about the concrete
furniture of housing estates they do not live on. Comprising
essays, fiction and art criticism, this is a merciless, witty
satire of the middle classes - a venturesome, intelligent debut
which cuts to the very core of our duplicitous lives.
