Description
Greil Marcus's latest work is a heartfelt and adventurous reflection on the art of writing about art. A yearning for fun, play, and discovery drives his compulsion to capture the moment when a creation speaks in its own voice.
Through over half a century spent honing the art of attention, Marcus explores the revolutionary power of art, inviting readers to join him in understanding what it is, why it captures us, and how it forces us to confront our assumptions. Funny and poignant, this book is a tribute to the indispensable art of criticism by one of its greatest practitioners.
