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 Nicolas Slonimsky (both with individual entries), Kostelanetz offers a 'reference book' to be treasured not only in bits and chunks, but continuously as one of the ten books someone would take if they planned to be stranded on a desert isle"--Provided by publisher.Arts, American20th centuryDictionariesArts, American21st centuryDictionariesArts, Modern20th centuryDictionariesArts, Modern21st centuryDictionariesAvant-garde (Aesthetics)United StatesDictionariesAvant-garde (Aesthetics)North AmericaDictionariesArtistsUnited StatesBiographyDictionariesArtistsNorth AmericaBiographyDictionariesArts, AmericanArts, AmericanArts, ModernArts, ModernAvant-garde (Aesthetics)Avant-garde (Aesthetics)ArtistsArtistsBiography700.973/0904Kostelanetz Richard317496OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910823162803321A dictionary of the American avant-gardes4035499UNINA
