Typically he provides intelligence unavailable anywhere else, no less in print than online, about a wealth of subjects and individuals. Focused upon what is truly innovative and excellent, Kostelanetz also ranges widely with insight and surprise, including appreciations of artistic athletes such as Muhammad Ali and the Harlem Globetrotters and such collective creations as Las Vegas and his native New York City. Continuing the traditions of cheeky high-style Dictionarysts, honoring Ambrose Bierce and Samuel Johnson (both with individual entries), Kostelanetz offers a "reference book" to be enjoyed, not only in bits and chunks but continuously as one of the ten books someone would take if he or she planned to be stranded on a desert isle"--Provided by publisher.Arts, Modern20th centuryDictionariesArts, Modern21st centuryDictionariesAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History20th centuryDictionariesAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History21st centuryDictionariesArts, ModernArts, ModernAvant-garde (Aesthetics)HistoryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History700.904Kostelanetz Richard317496OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910799931003321A concise dictionary of the avant-gardes3874886UNINA
