I believe that [he] is a great talent as a writer (Werner Herzog). There is no place for plot, linear narrative, character development, or scene setting in Harmony Korine's audacious and original first novel, A Crackup at the Race Riots. The twenty-three-year-old filmmaker has created a bold work of fiction, a montage that takes literary convention and explodes it in a sequence of half-remembered scenes, suicide notes, dialogue fragments, movie ideas, rumors, and jokes. Korine's eye and ear are exquisitely tuned to the absurd, to the hypocrisy and hilarity that comprise our national obsessions with death, dirt, poverty, celebrity, religion, and gossip. He captures the fragmented moments of a life observed through the demented lens of media, TV, and teen obsession. The reinvented wheel of Korine's darkly bizarre imagination, A Crackup at the Race Riots is the ultimate postmodern novel - funny, offensive, depraved, and sad. XX HARMONY KORINE is the self-educated twenty-three-year-old who wrote the screenplay for the controversial film Kids. His directorial debut, Gummo, received the 1997 Venice Film Critics' Award and the Rotterdam Film Festival Critics' Award. Korine was raised in the carnival and currently resides in West Virginia., Books<
