Book Description
Publication Date: October 14, 2004
Cutty, One Rock takes the reader on a wild journey by airplane, bus, ferry, and foot from childhood to early manhood in the company of a New Jersey family in equal measures cultivated and deranged. We witness scenes of passionate, even violent intensity that give rise to meditations on eros and literature, the solitariness of travel, and the poetics of place.These individual pieces, most of which first appeared in The London Review of Books and won an international cult following, are by turns \"poignant, surreal, down home and lyrical, a mixture of qualities that inheres in his language with uncommon delicacy and effect\" (Leonard Michaels). Together they make up an intellectual and emotional autobiography on the run. The book\'s final section, about Kleinzahler\'s adored, doomed older brother, is unforgettable, and since its appearance last year in the LRB, has already entered the literature as one of the most moving contemporary memoirs.From BooklistKleinzahler\'s poetry, most recently collected in The Strange Hours Travelers Keep [BKL N 15 03], is kinetic, flinty, sly, and pierced by longing. But its edgy energy provides few clues to the stunning vehemence, caustic wit, and gruff pathos of his autobiographical essays. Here Kleinzahler strips bare his comfortless New Jersey childhood as the son of a mother who disliked children and one of few Jews among many Italians. Astute, audacious, and adept, Kleinzahler is devastating in his characterizations and lyrical in his evocation of place as he tells painfully frank and hilarious tales of family, Jersey machismo, and the Mob; reports on adventures in his adopted home, San Francisco; recounts various journeys; and dissects the concept of Eros. Each bravado essay is breathtakingly provocative, but the collection\'s soul resides in the title piece, a lancing portrait of his late \"born wild\" older brother, who by day was a financial analyst and at night was a high-stakes gambler and bar-cruising gay partyer. Kleinzahler\'s unsparing essays glow with the threat and promise of the neon signs of all-night dives. Donna SeamanCopyright ? American Library Association. All rights reserved
