THE HARD CROWD - RACHEL KUSHNER KARTONIERT (TB)

From Rachel Kushner the celebrated  exceptionally talented  and philosophically minded writer 
(San Francisco Chronicle) and regular contributor to The New Yorker and The New York Times
Magazine  a career-spanning collection of spectacular essays encompassing politics  culture 
and art. Since her debut more than a decade ago  Rachel Kushner has firmly established herself
as not only one of our finest fiction writers  but one of our most incisive essayists-each of
her pieces is singular  brilliant  and itself a literary event. Now  in The Hard Crowd  Kushner
gathers a selection of her writing over the course of the last twenty years that not only
illuminates the themes that underpin her fiction  but addresses the most pressing political 
artistic  and cultural issues of our times. In nineteen razor-sharp essays  The Hard Crowd
spans literary journalism  memoir  cultural criticism  and writing about art and literature 
including pieces on politics  social justice  and her personal relationships  as well as on
Jeff Koons  Denis Johnson  and Marguerite Duras. Kushner takes us on a journey through a
Palestinian refugee camp in East Jerusalem  the world of truckers  and the music scene of her
hometown of San Francisco. Her stories are electric  incisive  and wry  and provide us the
opportunity to witness the evolution and range of one of our most dazzling and fearless
writers. Kushner writes with startling detail  imagination  and gallows humor. -Entertainment
Weekly The authority and precision of Kushner's writing is impressive  but it's the gorgeous
ferocity that will stick with me. -The Wall Street Journal
