Publisher's Synopsis
As in his volumes from 2004, 2005, and 2006, Douglas Messerli brings together pieces on art, dance, music, film, literature, and popular culture to reveal the tempo of world culture in each year since 2000, while also positing these pieces as a kind of ongoing memoir, allowing the personal to intermingle with perceptive analyses of the culture at large. In 2003, the author hears voices which remain outside of the dominant cultures.
