A richly entertaining journey through the art world, narrated by an acutely insightful raconteur.
In writing that is bawdy, clever, irreverent, and wry, Sorrentino gathers a motley collection of art world aspirants, rejected writers, vacuous exhibitionists, and the discourse, trends, and corporate coddling that surround them. With precise comedic timing and an abundance of erotic detail, Lunar Follies skewers postmodern culture in a bitingly satiric tour of imaginary gallery, museum, and performance art exhibitions. These 53 “reviews,” named after geographic features of the moon, provide a guide through the lunacy of a contemporary art world valiantly maintaining its pretensions in the face of a society that barely notices it.
