LUC SANTE - Kill All Your Darlings

In his books and essays, Luc Sante has shown himself to be one of our pre-eminent stylists, as well as a critic of uncommon power. Kill All Your Darlings is the first collection of Sante’s articles—many of which first appeared in the New York Review of Books and the Village Voice—and offers ample justification for this high praise. Alongside meditations on cigarettes, factory work, and hipness, and his critical tour de force, “The Invention of the Blues,” Sante offers his unique take on icons from Rimbaud to Dylan, Magritte to the Mekons, Buddy Bolden to Walker Evans, Allen Ginsberg to Robert Mapplethorpe.

Jana Martin’s smart, vulnerable heroines respond to life’s curveballs with guts and flair. In luminous prose she deftly plumbs the depths of their troubles—and shows the often startling ways they dig themselves out. Further information, reviews, and assorted entertainment on Jana's blog
