THE HARD CROWD - RACHEL KUSHNER KARTONIERT (TB)

From the Booker-shortlisted author of The Mars Room   a career-spanning collection of
spectacular essays about politics and culture.   In The Hard Crowd   Rachel Kushner gathers a
selection of her writing from over the course of the last twenty years that addresses the most
pressing political  artistic  and cultural issues of our times - and illuminates the themes and
real-life terrain that underpin her fiction.  In razor-sharp essays spanning literary
journalism  memoir  cultural criticism  and writing about art and literature  Kushner takes us
from Jeff Koons and Marguerite Duras to a Palestinian refugee camp  from her love of classic
cars to her young life in the music scene of San Francisco. The closing  eponymous essay is her
manifesto on nostalgia  doom  and writing.   'I'm glad to taste something this sharp  this
smart' Olivia Laing    'Wild  wide-ranging and unsparingly intelligent throughout' Vogue    'An
exciting book... Kushner writes from the inside out and gives us the true story  the real deal'
Kevin Barry  New Statesman   Books of the Year
