Says Jeffrey Eugenides- Sorretino is a writer like no other- learned, companionable, ribald, brave, mathematical, at once virtuosic & somehow without egoshining with an unforgiving, but for all that, cleansing, light.Sorrentino collects here a motley bunch of art world aspirants, rejected writers, vacuous exhibitionists, and the discourse, trends, and corporate coddling that surround them. With precise comedic titling and an abundfance of erotic detail, Lunar Follies skewers postmodern culture in a bitingly satiric tour of imaginary gallery, museum, and performance art exhibitions- fifty-three 'reviews', named after geographic features of the moon. A guide to lunacy. Ready? |
