KILL ALL YOUR DARLINGS

My review of Luc Sante's new book is now up at the Journal.

Sante recently translated and wrote an introduction to Novels in Three Lines, a collection of mordant and violent newspaper work from 19th century Paris that prefigures Surrealism and resembles the pithy and dark annotations of Harry Smith in the original American Folk Anthology.

He also has an evocative semi-anonymous photoblog called Pinakothek.
