A Crackup At The Race Riots

Description

This reprinting of Korine''s first novel presents fragments of a portrait in multimedia: print, photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, clip art; but mostly text, including hard-luck stories, off-and-on-colour jokes, script-scraps, found letters, free rhymes, drug flashbacks and other scenes, exploring the world of show-biz with feet set lightly in the black humours of the real ol'' world. This excretion of the danglers of public life would make William Burroughs sigh and turn the page, at least. Review: Don't consider it a novel and everything will be okay - how this qualifies as a novel is beyond me, but it's great, especially if you are a fan of Harmony Korine, of absurdism, of surrealism. here are a whole slew of seemingly random "pieces" ranging from one word (hepburn) to one and a half pages. dont try to pretend there is any continuity or story here, just enjoy it. also, fans of Blake Butler will probably dig this, i know i did Review: Sweet post - modern multi diisciplinary pursuits ballades and unsigned suicide notes,,…;( - Saweetie Pie in the Skye.
