He can be elegant as a slow blues.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Nick Tosches Reader\u003c\/i\u003e is the author's own selection of his best work over the past thirty years, including fiction, poetry, interviews, rock writing, investigative journalism, and criticism. First published in major magazines, obscure underground periodicals, and his own best-selling books, many of these selections deal with rock 'n' roll and cultural icons--but there are also pieces on everything from William Faulkner to organized crime to heavyweight boxing, including the \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e feature that gave rise to Tosches's major new book on Sonny Liston, published by Little, Brown. Here is \"a unique and darkly impressionistic cultural history\" of the last three decades as only Nick Tosches could write it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Tosches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306809699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306809699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.08w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/13\/2000 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/21\/2000 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2000 pg. 114","brand":"Nick Tosches","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995510472959,"sku":"9780306809699","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afb4cdc0-1c17-40d2-be83-ac7e09c294a1.jpg?v=1683336228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nick-tosches-reader-nick-tosches-9780306809699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
