""The new heir, the man, the sweet edge of the future." Jim Carroll, author, " The Basketball Diaries"
""I was struck from the very beginning that there is a new voice in writing. I believe that [he] is a great talent as a writer." Werner Herzog, film director, " Aguirre, Wrath of God "and" Grizzly Man"
Originally published by Mainstreet/Doubleday in 1998, this debut novel from an underground filmmaker uses print, photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, and clip art to enhance the text, which primarily tells of a race war that happens in Florida, where the Jewish people sit in trees, the black people are run by MC Hammer, and the white people are run by Vanilla Ice. Or as the author himself described it front of a national television audience, "I wanted to write the Great American Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Novel." In actuality, it is a collection of hard-luck stories, off-and-on-color jokes, script scraps, found letters, free rhymes, drug flashbacks, and other missing scenes, all exploring the world of show business with fingers prying in the cracks and feet set lightly in the black humors of the real world. With chapters about books found in Monty Clift's basement and Tupac Shakur's 10 favorite novels, and a set of 11 suicide notes with room included for the reader's signature, the book is a one-of-a-kind post-postmodern examination of the dangers of public life from a unique voice in independent culture, one that might make William S. Burroughs sigh and turn the page at least.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This reprinting of Korine's first novel presents fragments of a portrait in multimedia: print, photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, clip art; but mostly text, including hard-luck stories, off-and-on-colour jokes, script-scraps, found letters, free rhymes, drug flashbacks and other scenes, exploring the world of show-biz with feet set lightly in the black humours of the real ol' world. This excretion of the danglers of public life would make William Burroughs sigh and turn the page, at least. "Slacker" meets James Thurber in this idiosyncratic collection of fictional set pieces from the daring young screenwriter of "Kids", a film so gritty and controversial that it was banned in theaters across the country. Written with a filmmaker's eye and a prankster's glee, "A Crack-Up at the Race Riots" is the ultimate postmodern video novel--funny, offensive, and primitive.
