Syncopations: Beats, New Yorkers, and Writers in the Dark Paperback - 2008 - 1st Edition
by James Campbell
From the rear cover
"At a time when much literary criticism remains deliberately abstruse and unduly professionalized, this book, at once anecdotal and quietly argumentative, feels like nothing so much as a fine collection of short stories about the most fascinating people you never met."--Morris Dickstein, author of A Mirror in the Roadway
"To read this book is to watch the workings of a brilliant mind--sharp, quirky, always ready to reimagine texts we thought we knew well and to shed light on others we might have passed over. Campbell fits into no theoretical camp: he is simply one of the rare critics on whom, to cite Henry James, 'nothing is lost.'"--Marjorie Perloff, author of Wittgenstein's Ladder
"Rises above the usual divisions in American literature. James Campbell is one of the most eloquent and consistently challenging writers on the British literary scene."--Caryl Phillips, author of Dancing in the Dark
