A Crackup at the Race Riots by Harmony Korine (English) Paperback Book

Description: A Crackup at the Race Riots by Harmony Korine "Slacker" meets James Thurber in this idiosyncratic collection of fictional set pieces from the daring young screenwriter of "Kids", a film so gritty and controversial that it was banned in theaters across the country. Written with a filmmakers eye and a pranksters glee, "A Crack-Up at the Race Riots" is the ultimate postmodern video novel--funny, offensive, and primitive. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This reprinting of Korines 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. Author Biography Harmony Korine is the director of the films Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Mister Lonely, Spring Breakers, and Trash Humpers, as well as music videos for artists such as Cat Power, Sonic Youth, and Will Oldham. He was the writer of the film Kids. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Review "I was struck from the very beginning that there is a new voice in writing.
