He is \"one of the handful of living masters of the American language, as well as a singular historian and philosopher of American experience,\" says the New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl. Kill All Your Darlings is the first collection of Sante's articles--many of which first appeared in the New York Review of Books and the Village Voice--and offers ample justification for such high praise. Sante is best known for his groundbreaking work in urban history (Low Life), and for a particularly penetrating form of autobiography (The Factory of Facts). These subjects are also reflected in several essays here, but it is the author's intense and scrupulous writing about music, painting, photography, and poetry that takes center stage. Alongside meditations on cigarettes, factory work, and hipness, and his critical tour de force, \"The Invention of the Blues,\" Sante offers his incomparable take on icons from Arthur Rimbaud to Bob Dylan, Ren  Magritte to Tintin, Buddy Bolden to Walker Evans, Allen Ginsberg to Robert Mapplethorpe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yeti Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781891241536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.59h x 6.11w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/04\/2007 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/17\/2008 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luc Sante","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36670022877340,"sku":"9781891241536","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5a495ec0-b5a5-46a3-98db-31bce98c23ae.jpg?v=1603921650","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kill-all-your-darlings-pieces-1990-2005-9781891241536","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
