Tristes Tropiques -- The women -- This lonesome place -- GWTW -- Philosopher or dog? -- White noise -- Michael -- The only one -- I am the happiness of this world -- Buddy Ebsen -- A Pryor love -- You and whose army? -- It will soon be here.
Weaving together his brilliant analyses of literature, art, and music with fearless insights on race, gender, and history. The result is an extraordinary, complex portrait of "white girls," as Als dubs them--an expansive but precise category that encompasses figures as diverse as Truman Capote and Louise Brooks, Malcolm X and Flannery O'Connor. In pieces that hairpin between critique and meditation, fiction and nonfiction, high culture and low, the theoretical and the deeply personal, Als presents a stunning portrait of a writer by way of his subjects, and an invaluable guide to the culture of our time.
