Mat knows a whole lot, and cares deeply about what's going on around him, so that even when I disagree with him-roughly 30% of the time-I admire that he's typically seasoned his point with some caustic humor, along with a barb or two at an ample cross-section of the art world's sacred cows.

His characterization of Dennis Hopper suits Mat as well: ..\".a work of art, perpetually and insatiably seeking to possess multiple meanings and cash them in to indulge in every experience under the sun.\"--Carol Diehl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mat Gleason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1502808749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781502808745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.38d","brand":"Mat Gleason","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962147197183,"sku":"9781502808745","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3798dec3-3f53-4673-85ed-31ab99d07f8c.jpg?v=1750649461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-century-hit-puberty-mat-gleason-9781502808745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
