BonusEp. 14: The Lonely Palette Reads Tom Wolfe's The Painted Word

Taking a break from writing about astronauts, Tom Wolfe donned his
white suit and strolled to the art museums of New York City,
letting the incomprehensible literary works of the movement wash
over him like a warm bath of clam broth, and producing what, in the
words of art critic Rosalind Krauss, "hit the art world like a
really bad, MSG-headache-producing, Chinese lunch." For you, dear
listeners, here is the headache-inducing introduction to "The
Painted Word," read aloud, as was always intended. This free
preview is available to all listeners, but the full chapter, and
all future chapters, will be going to $2 (and above) per episode
patrons, so pledge that support to find out just what in the heck
Wolfe defines as an "apache dance." It's so not what you think it
is that it might just be what you think it is. The next chapter
will be released on Tuesday, October 17. Don't miss a word, painted
or otherwise, by becoming a patron. www.patreon.com/lonelypalette
