He is good on art, very good on movies, and unbeatable on pop-rock, with views deeply informed by experience.\" —Lucy Sante\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Hell may best be known as a punk icon, a founding member of seminal bands Television, the Heartbreakers, and The Voidoids, but for decades he’s been a prominent voice in American letters. Through his novels \u003ci\u003eGo Now\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGodlike\u003c\/i\u003e, and his critically acclaimed autobiography, \u003ci\u003eI Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp\u003c\/i\u003e, Hell has proven himself as a talented and insightful writer across many genres, in many forms. But one might argue that Richard’s true genius lies in shorter form as a writer on culture. \"Love comes in spurts,\" Hell once sang, and that could well describe the intensity of his penetrating and wickedly droll criticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMassive Pissed Love\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of Hell’s ruminations on art, literature, and music, among other things, that’s like a candy box of reading treats, a bag of shiny marbles, a cabinet of mementos and uncanny fetishes. However one thinks of it, it’s a joy to read from start to finish and a deeply necessary addition to the oeuvre of one of the sharpest minds and sensibilities at work today.\u003cb\u003eRichard Hell\u003c\/b\u003e remains a crucial voice of our culture. He’s currently conducting an interview\/performance series at Symphony Space in New York, “A Night Out with Richard Hell,” as well as giving readings and talks internationally, while focusing primarily on a novel in progress. He’s published journalism in \u003ci\u003eSpin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBookforum\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e, Art in America, and many other outlets. Hell was the film critic for \u003ci\u003eBlack Book\u003c\/i\u003e from 2004-2006. He’s the author of an autobiography, \u003ci\u003eI Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp\u003c\/i\u003e (Ecco, 2013), and the novels \u003ci\u003eGo Now\u003c\/i\u003e (Scribner, 1996) and \u003ci\u003eGodlike\u003c\/i\u003e (Akashic, 2005), as well as the collection of essays, diaries, and lyrics \u003ci\u003eHot and Cold\u003c\/i\u003e (powerHouse, 2001).","brand":"Soft Skull","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302322491621,"sku":"NP9781593766276","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781593766276.jpg?v=1767732376","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/massive-pissed-love-isbn-9781593766276","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
