Skipping Towards Gomorrah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skipping Towards Gomorrah is a 2003 book by Dan Savage, which examines the concept of happiness in American culture, as obtained by indulging in each of the Seven Deadly Sins.

In each chapter, Savage explores a different subculture in an attempt to understand how its participants gain happiness, and contrasts this with religious conservatism.

The book's title is a reference to Robert Bork's 1996 book, Slouching Towards Gomorrah (itself a reference to Yeats's poem The Second Coming), in which Bork decried what he saw as modern moral corruption caused by liberalism.
