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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aArts, American$y20th century$vDictionaries 606 $aArts, American$y21st century$vDictionaries 606 $aArts, Modern$y20th century$vDictionaries 606 $aArts, Modern$y21st century$vDictionaries 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$zUnited States$vDictionaries 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$zNorth America$vDictionaries 606 $aArtists$zUnited States$vBiography$vDictionaries 606 $aArtists$zNorth America$xBiography$vDictionaries 615 0$aArts, American 615 0$aArts, American 615 0$aArts, Modern 615 0$aArts, Modern 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics) 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics) 615 0$aArtists 615 0$aArtists$xBiography 676 $a700.973/0904 700 $aKostelanetz$b Richard$0317496 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823162803321 996 $aA dictionary of the American avant-gardes$94035499 997 $aUNINA
