The Lure of Heresy From Baudelaire to Beckett and Beyond.
By Peter Gay
This book was review in the NY Times Book Review by Lee Siegel. I probably won't read it although I did skim thru the review.
I liked the conclusion, and how it fits in with my previous post about talent.
We seem now to be living in a world where everyone has an artistic temperament — emotive and touchy, cold and self-obsessed — yet few people have the artistic gift. We are all outsiders, and we are all living in our own truth.Except your truth sucks and mine is way better... dude.
