Description
The Washington Post hails Greil Marcus as “our greatest cultural critic. ” Writing in the London Review of Books, D. D. Guttenplan calls him “probably the most astute critic of American popular culture since Edmund Wilson. ” For nearly thirty years, he has written a remarkable column that has migrated from the Village Voice to Artforum, Salon, City Pages, Interview, and The Believer and currently appears in the Barnes & Noble Review.
Published to complement the paperback edition of The History of Rock & Roll in Ten Songs, Real Life Rock reveals the critic in full: direct, erudite, funny, fierce, vivid, astute, uninhibited, and possessing an unerring instinct for art and fraud. The result is an indispensable volume packed with startling arguments and casual brilliance.
