Curtis White
"The Barbaric Heart of an adolescent nation stews in its own
entropy, and we wonder why the center does not hold. Our mind games
stand behind the devastation of place and economy. I've been an
admirer of Curtis White for many years, and this book is a
brilliant summation of his message."
-James Howard Kunstler, Author of World Made By Hand and The Long
Emergency "Splendidly cranky."
-Molly Ivins "Witheringly smart, grotesquely funny, grimly
comprehensive, and so moving as to be wrenching."
-David Foster Wallace "Refreshing malevolent irony . . . absolutely
indispensable."
-Slavoj Zizek "White brings a great light into the darkness that
has descended
upon the hope of a decent American future."
-Lewis Lapham
