Synopsis
From Rachel Kushner, a writer celebrated for her "chops, ambition, and killer instinct" (John Powers, NPR) and a contributor to the New Yorker and the New York times magazine, a career-spanning collection of spectacular essays encompassing politics, culture, and cars, Rachel Kushner, author of three award-winning novels, including The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room, has firmly established herself as one of our finest fiction writers. She is also a master of the essay form: The Hard Crowd is a collection of twenty razor-sharp pieces on art and literature, motorcycle racing, truckers, classic cars, politics and social justice, and the San Francisco music scene of her youth. Kushner's writing is electric; her range, dazzling. Now includes a new essay, "naked childhood," about Kushner's family, their converted school bus, and the summers of love in Oregon and San Francisco Book jacket., " The Hard Crowd is wild, wide-ranging, and unsparingly intelligent throughout." --Taylor Antrim, Vogue From a writer celebrated for her "chops, ambition, and killer instinct" (John Powers, Fresh Air ), a career-spanning collection of spectacular essays about politics and culture. Rachel Kushner has established herself as "the most vital and interesting American novelist working today" ( The Millions ) and as a master of the essay form. In The Hard Crowd , she 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 experiences that inform her fiction. In twenty razor-sharp essays, The Hard Crowd spans literary journalism, memoir, cultural criticism, and writing about art and literature, including pieces on Jeff Koons, Denis Johnson, and Marguerite Duras. Kushner takes us on a journey through a Palestinian refugee camp, an illegal motorcycle race down the Baja Peninsula, 1970s wildcat strikes in Fiat factories, her love of classic cars, and her young life in the music scene of her hometown, San Francisco. The closing, eponymous essay is her manifesto on nostalgia, doom, and writing. These pieces, new and old, are electric, vivid, and wry, and they provide an 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," said Leah Greenblatt in Entertainment Weekly , and, from Paula McLain in the Wall Street Journal : "The authority and precision of Kushner's writing is impressive, but it's the gorgeous ferocity that will stick with me.", Now includes a new essay, "Naked Childhood," about Kushner's family, their converted school bus, and the Summers of Love in Oregon and San Francisco!
