About this title

Review:

Gary Indiana's essays have long been considered the cutting edge of journalism. His pungent commentary and acerbic critiques have appeared in The Village Voice and Artforum and are now collected in Let it Bleed. Indiana has perfected the craft of the personal, cultural essay: informed, honest, catty, precise and witty. These pieces give us a glimpse into the state of culture today: it isn't always pretty. Indiana's intelligence shows though in every piece, and his ability to see through the shame of culture, sex, pretension and politics are refreshing and potent. Let it Bleed enters the culture wars fully armed, and Indiana isn't taking prisoners.
