Lisa Carver is a person and writer who doesn't give a sh*t about your book criticism, art criticism, TV/movie criticism, etc. Your low art is her biggest thrill. High art is probably sort of blah to her. She recounts her experiences watching random bad TV or admiring popular celebrities just as thoughtfully as she describes her experiences in the art world. This book of brief, irreverent, unpretentious, and sometimes startling essays (like the ones on psychopath Gene Gregorits and actor Shia LaBeouf) fascinated me over and over. Her love of all kinds of art is inspiring. Recommended By Kevin S., Powells.com
