Way Out There

Inside the Jargon Society, Late-20th-century America's most curious cultural outfit and its Raiders of the Lost Art

Beschreibung

"Patterson seemingly had a hand in every outlet of creative expression all over the South.... In this book he hews closely to his seven years in Georgia's capital city, when he embarked on projects that eventually made him a go-to authority on visionary art.... Patterson clearly has a kind of internal divining rod that dependably leads him toward worthwhile weirdos."
