Praise for I Love Art“Intrepid, sharp, and devastatingly funny, Lisa Carver has been a refreshing countercultural voice since the 1990s. Who else would argue the merits of Marat/Sade and Tyler Perry in the same breath? And who else could bring to pop culture such an endearing mix of all-American enthusiasm and ‘try anything twice’ fatalism? ‘Sometimes sadness is so great,’ she writes, ‘one must turn one’s life into a parable just to be able to bear it.’ Lisa Carver is a parabalist for our times.”
— Ada Calhoun, St. Marks Is Dead “Lisa Carver always has me laughing out loud. I Love Art is a hilarious invitation to be a critic of your own taste, and what a joyful journey that can be!” —Jacq the Stripper, Striptastic! “Each entry in I Love Art challenged my understanding of what “art” is in a way that always felt completely sincere and unpretentious. Funny, provocative, and introspective.” — Lindsay Goffman, producer “The Good Doctor” Previous praise for Lisa Carver:“Reading Lisa Carver is always one of the greatest pleasures. She’s brilliant of course, but more important, she never stops seeking and telling the truth.”
— Chris Kraus, I Love Dick and Aliens & Anorexia “With her tart writing and unswerving devotion to lowbrow culture, Carver sound like Camille Paglia channeling both Tonya Harding and Liz Phair.” — Dwight Garner, Details |
