Greenblatt Wins 2012 Pulitzer
Author Stephen Greenblatt has won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.
Hear his recent conversation with Michael Silverblatt.
Ugly Man (Harper Collins)
Although we've followed the career of Dennis Copper from the ground up, in this conversation, he acknowledges a new influence—the master director of French film comedy, Jacques Tati. Has Cooper, then, achieved a comic, or even sunny, vision? No. Not at all. Comedy has entered his mix of styles and rhythms to create a smoother (smooth as ice) level of ongoing disturbance.
Note: In the course of this conversation Cooper reads from Ugly Man. In addition to some its sexual content, some listeners may find the subject matter of the reading to be disturbing.
