Book Reports - A Music Critic on His First Love, Which Was Reading (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
In this generous collection of book reviews and literary essays,
legendary Village Voice rock critic Robert Christgau showcases the
passion that made him a critic-his love for the written word. Many
selections address music, from blackface minstrelsy to punk and
hip-hop, artists from Lead Belly to Patti Smith, and fellow critics
from Ellen Willis and Lester Bangs to Nelson George and Jessica
Hopper. But Book Reports also teases out the popular in the Bible
and 1984 as well as pornography and science fiction, and analyzes
at length the cultural theory of Raymond Williams, the detective
novels of Walter Mosley, the history of bohemia, and the 2008
financial crisis. It establishes Christgau as not just the Dean of
American Rock Critics, but one of America's most insightful
cultural critics as well.
