Drip Grind
Taylor Clark's weak case against Starbucks
by DORON TAUSSIG
It was about halfway through Taylor Clark's Starbucked that I decided I should read the book inside a Starbucks establishment. Not as some sort of anthropological experiment (though certainly, if material were to present itself ...), but because, as part of the minority of American adults that doesn't drink coffee, I'm just not that familiar with the stores. I had been in them, sure, and understood that Starbucks was a major chain. But the omnipresent, possibly villainous cultural entity Clark was describing didn't resemble the hazy little dark-green cafes I saw in the back of my mind.
