Making It
What Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential did for the world of chefs and restaurants, Making It does for the art world. Making It is a gonzo memoir of an established artist crossed with objective advice, tips and tricks fleshed out by a best-selling art historian and Pulitzer finalist writer on art. It peels back the shroud and reveals the highs and struggles in the life and career of a working artist. Specifically aimed at aspiring artists and art students, it will be of interest to anyone who wants to know what it is like to have an artist’s-eye-view of the art world, asking the tough and often glossed-over questions that rising artists inevitably have, not only about the creative pro...
The Novel Today
Britain's most important contemporary authors reflect intelligently and imaginatively on the nature and development of the modern novel.
Unfit for Modest Ears
"This is a book about dirty books. It deals with some fifty works published during the period of the Interregnum and the Restoration. Between about 1650 and 1690 there were added to the traditional strain of English bawdy two further types of immodest writing: the often outrageous verse connected with the court circle, and pornography, usually of foreign origin, but for the first time published in English. Although I have attempted to analyse the causes of these developments, I have devoted most of this book to the task of describing the works themselves, partly because most of them are virtually unknown, and partly because they are now often extremely rare. Indeed ten of the most important items survive in unique copies in libraries and private collections in Britain and America. In my analyses of these 'ugly ducklings' of English literature, I have tried to convey a sense of tone and style through frequent quotation, without being unnecessarily offensive." -- Preface.

The Professor Is In
The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration.

"I Read the News Today"
In I Read the News Today, Fred Fogo examines the ways in which John Lennon's brutal killing in 1980 and the commentary on it are part of a larger context of social disturbance that calls into question fundamental social meanings and relationships and sets visibly into conflict forces of stability and change. Fogo analyzes the print media responses to Lennon's death in the theoretical contexts of anthropologist Victor Turner's paradigm of social drama and mass communication scholar James Carey's ritual view of mass communication. Fogo suggests that Present day conflicts may be understood better by examining the way a particular segment of American society, the sixties generation, has made sense of its collective experience and its relation to society in the process of attributing symbolic meaning to one of its major icons, John Lennon.
