A massive underground sensation; The Big Lebowski has been hailed as the first cult film of the internet age. In this book; 21 fans and scholars address the films influencesmdash;westerns; noir; grail legends; the 1960s; and Fluxusmdash;and its historical connections to the first Iraq war; boomers; slackerdom; surrealism; college culture; and of course bowling. The Years Work in Lebowski Studies contains neither arid analyses nor lectures for the late-night crowd; but new ways of thinking and writing about film culture.
