For this American edition of his legendary arts dictionary of
information and opinion, the distinguished critic and arts
historian Richard Kostelanetz has selected from the fuller third
edition his entries on North Americans, including Canadians,
Mexicans, and resident immigrants. Typically, he provides
intelligence unavailable anywhere else, no less in print than
online, about a wealth of subjects and individuals. Focused upon
what is truly innovative and excellent, Kostelanetz also ranges
widely with insight and surprise, including appreciations of
artistic athletes such as Muhammad Ali and the Harlem
Globetrotters, and such collective creations as Las Vegas and his
native New York City. Continuing the traditions of cheeky
high-style Dictionarysts, honoring Ambrose Bierce and Nicolas
Slonimsky (both with individual entries), Kostelanetz offers a
"reference book" to be treasured not only in bits and chunks, but
continuously as one of the ten books someone would take if they
planned to be stranded on a desert isle.
