Fordham University Press Artists SoHo
Book SynopsisThe author of many books about arts and artists in America, Richard Kostelanetz in his Artists’ SoHo describes, as an historian-participant, the development of a legendary artists’ colony within an industrial slum in lower Manhattan.Trade Review"... Like the neighborhood it describes, Kostelanetz's cheerfully episodic book is full of odd corners, secret alleys and sudden vistas." -Publisher's Weekly (on the first edition) "Kostetlanetz's approach to the history of SoHo, with an emphasis on its heyday as a community of artists during the 1960s through the 1980s, is prismatic, covering all relevant perspectives: the history of the era, the rental laws of the period, the ethos of the community, the variety of physical layouts of the residential/studio lofts, the sort of art being produced, the stores that opened and closed in the neighborhood, the daily rhythm of activity and quiet, the gradual discovery and invasion of SoHo by a wealthier population, the economics of the locale, the surrounding neighborhoods, and much more. The cumulative effect is a complex and encyclopedic portrait of a place and time in New York City history." -- -Joyce Morgenroth Cornell University "Kostelanetz tells a great neighborhood story as important for understanding the past as for reinventing the future. Those thinking about New York City- the avant-garde, architectural preservation, urban planning, and American utopias-will find it rich and provocative." -- -Jane Mushabac co-author of A Short and Remarkable History of New York City, a "Best of the Best" of the American Association of University PressesTable of ContentsArtists' Colonies in America Artists Space Barowitz, Elliott Bayrak, Tosun Castelli, Leo Cast-Iron Architecture Cooper, Paula Dalachinsky, Steve Dance (modern) Deitch, Jeffrey Dia Foundation Fanelli's Fluxus Foreman, Richard 420 West Broadway Holography Interior Design Karp, Ivan (O.K.

Cooper Square Press The Gertrude Stein Reader
Book SynopsisThis anthology collects 51 of Stein's most experimental poems, stories, portraits, and plays.Trade ReviewThere have been many Anthologies, Chrestomathies, and Readers of Gertrude Stein's work, a multiplicity corresponding to the diversity and development of the writings she produced with such astonishing continuity all her life. In his lively selection, Mr. Kostelanetz has successfully represented one aspect of Stein's repertoire and provided a characteristic introduction which surely identifies his particular insight into her work. As Gertrude Stein says in Tender Buttons: 'a line in life, a single line and a stairway.' Congratulations all round! -- Richard Howard, Pulitzer Prize-Winning PoetRichard Kostelanetz is right—again. Gertrude Stein is the great American pioneer of the avant-garde. Kostelanetz shows us Stein in all her bounty, ingenuity, and originality. -- Catharine R. Stimpson, Dean and University Professor, New York University, and Editor of the Library of America's two-volume Gertrude Stein: WritingKostelanetz does it again, gathering Stein's lively, liberating, and cleansing words (the words, as she says, we hold in our hands) in a fine new anthology that includes 'Many Many Women,' 'Wherein the South Differs from the North,' 'Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters,' and 'How Writing is Written'—testimony all to Stein's prescient originality and Kostelanetz's lifelong commitment to it. -- Brenda Wineapple, Author of Sister Brother: Gertrude and Leo SteinGertrude Stein always did things her own way, with no apologies given. Editor Richard Kostelanetz captures the contradictory aspects of her domineering personality and towering presence. He makes quite clear that Stein was a woman for all seasons and for all times. -- June Skinner Sawyers, Editor, The Greenwich Village ReaderAvant-garde champion Richard Kostelanetz collects 34 lesser-known works you won't find in Selected Writings, and these 'difficult' pieces—rejected by publishers in their time—are wild, witty, and brilliant. ... In his lively, passionate introduction and in commentary throughout, Kostelanetz elucidates without pretension or condescension. Three cheers. * Out Magazine *As Kostelanetz writes in the introduction, though Stein died more than 50 years ago, her writings still feel fresh and contemporary. * Curve *The Gertrude Stein Reader not only collects Stein's most exciting experimental writing but also provides a context for understanding it. Kostelanetz's lucid, precise, and unpretentious introduction is particularly useful. * Seattle Weekly *A new collection of her more esoteric short-form writing, The Gertrude Stein Reader , advances the cause for an appreciation of Stein at her most avant-garde and unpopular. * Seattle Weekly *
