Book Reviews of Kill All Your Darlings: Pieces, 1990-2005
Book Review: A Garden of Delights
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book. Literally. That is, it is full of wonders. At his not infrequent best -- in his essays on jazz and the blues -- Luc Sante reminds this reader of Edmund Wilson. Like Wilson, Sante is dogged and forensic. Without showing off, he tells you things you didn't know and puts you gratefully in his debt. And at his most casual (for instance, his piece on Rudolph Giuliani), Luc Sante is a joy to read.
Summary of Kill All Your Darlings: Pieces, 1990-2005
