Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This landmark publication compiles three decades of writing from one of the most original and entertaining voices of our time. It includes a rich collection of reportorial journalism, essays, criticism, and fiction, showcasing the author's intense baroque cleverness and wit. Critics praise the work for its depth and style, with one noting that it blurs the lines between journalism and literature. The collection is larger, darker, and funnier than its predecessor, brimming with sharp eloquence as it explores themes like northernness in a German forest and the merits of slang. The author tackles a wide array of topics, from the indefensibility of nationalism and the misuse of the term "iconic" to John Lennon’s shopping lists and the infamous Black Tower wine. The pieces reflect an unparalleled range and erudition, addressing cities, artists, sex, England, France, concrete, faith, politics, food, history, and more. This compelling compilation is essential for anyone who values language and culture, offering insights that resonate across various subjects. It is a testament to the author's ability to engage readers with every line, making it a must-have for those who appreciate intelligent and provocative writing.
