Publisher's Note
"Slacker" meets James Thurber in this idiosyncratic collection of fictional set pieces from the daring young screenwriter of "Kids", a film so gritty and controversial that it was banned in theaters across the country. Written with a filmmaker's eye and a prankster's glee, "A Crack-Up at the Race Riots" is the ultimate postmodern video novel--funny, offensive, and primitive., A collection of fictional set pieces from the director of the controversial film Kids includes jokes, half-remembered scenes, suicide notes, and dialogue fragments woven together into a "postmodern video novel." Original., The original Ritalin kid, Harmony Korine burst on the scene with Kids, a film so gritty and unsettling in its depiction of teen life that it was slapped with an NC-17 rating and banned in some theaters across the country. In some ways, the media frenzy over the rating overshadowed the harrowing portrait of teenagers destroying their lives and the then twenty-one-year-old screenwriter who created them. "Whether you see the movie as a masterpiece or as sensationalism," wrote Lynn Hirshberg, "the movie is relentless and brilliant and extremely disturbing. Its powerful-both steel-eyed and sexy; horrifying and captivating."Now, in this first book of fictional set pieces, Korine captures the fragmented moments of a life observed through the demented lens of media, TV, and teen obsession. Korine reinvents the novel in this highly experimental montage of scenes that seem both real and surreal at the same time. With a filmmakers eye and a prankster's glee, this bizarre collection of jokes, half-remembered scenes, dialogue fragments, movie ideas, and suicide notes is an episodic, epigrammatic lovesong to the world of images. Korine is the voice of his media-savvy generation and A Crack-Up at the Race Riots is the satiric lovechild of his dark imagination.
