Proposal for More Crimes of Culture: Essays 1968-2004
A sequel to Crimes of Culture (1995), this book would collect in one place my best severe essays on literature and the arts. It differs from its predecessor, whose title it echoes, in that the latter has essays mostly about literary politics and cultural funding. Among the essays in this new book would be:
Poetry: A Magazine of Worse (1979), re an anthology from that magazine
“I Keek It, I Vin Itâ€: Joseph Brodsky (1987), re his critical essays
Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (1993), taking Brodsky's advice to be prepared
American Poetry Today: Field’s Faceless Fusiliers (1980), re A Geography of Poets
Interchangeable Parts (1975), re the first anthology of The Fiction Collective
Poetry Readings (1978)
Poetry Blurbs (1994), demonstrating how they have become literary boilerplate
“The Fiction Collective†Again (1978), re their second self-anthology
Slight of Foot (1994), re the Norton anthology of “Post-Modernismâ€
Poetry I Shall Not Make (1993), an anti-manifesto in the form of a poem
Signs of the Times (1991), re uniformity of the Missouri Review anthology of fiction
Gatherings of Ringers (1991), re the Pushcart annuals
Books by “Artists†(1983)
Edward Said (2004)
What’s Wrong for the New York Times Book Review (2004)
Susan Sontag (2001)
Bullchipping (2004), re patent fabrications by prominent authors
Unloaded Canons (1980, 1989), re peculiar recent histories of Am. Literature
Butt—Kissy (1993), re a new kind of literary magazine
Rejection Letters (1993), examples of editorial idiocy
Self-Sabotage (1989), re the prominent art critics Donald Kuspit & Lucy R. Lippard
Waiting for Revisionism (1991), re criticism of video art
The Illusion of Expertise (1991), re a book about baseball in Latin America
