His writing is refreshing, erudite, joyful. Indiana champions shining examples of literary and artistic merit regardless of whether the individual artist or writer is famous; asserts a standard of care and tradition that has nothing to do with the ivory tower establishment; is unafraid to deliver the coup de graÌce when someone needs to say the emperor has no clothes; speaks in the same breath-in the same discerning, insolent, eloquent way-about high art and pop culture. Few writers could get away with saying the things Gary Indiana does. And when the writing is this good, it's also political, plus it's a riot of fun on the page"-- $c Provided by publisher. 700 1 $a Lorentzen, Christian, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 4 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231017010900.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230616010115.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20221231011546.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802020951.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B56AA0EB4A811ECBDCF981B5BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
