Gary Indiana's essays, like his fiction, take no prisoners. In fifteen years of writing for the likes of The Village Voice, Artforum, Details and Art in America, he has covered the range from Rodney King's beating to Mary McCarthy, to EuroDisney and the Reagan-Bush years. Ignoring good taste, his insights are acute, brash, bracing and intelligent; Let It Bleed collects for the first time some of the most engaging and provocative writing that has been produced in a long time.
