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
