DESCRIPTION:
"A Fascinating Memoir" according to Foster Corbin. As I read this memoir which is certainly something else, as we are prone to say down here, I kept thinking that it is the sort of book that that one-of-a-kind book store in San Francisco, City Lights, would display in its window as a book not to miss; but it would probably not be stocked in most stores in the remaining big bookstore chain and would have to be special-ordered. Gary Indiana’s I CAN GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE is indeed one of a kind. He certainly writes honestly—perhaps too honestly for some readers-- about his life: the drugs, his first sex, other. Denise said Gary Indiana is the greatest American writer, and I love him!. I have just read "I Can Give You Anything But Love" by the great Gary Indiana. This book is a masterpiece - it is interesting, well-written, and relevant. The passages that Mr. Indiana wrote about Cuba were sublime. He is a superior writer.I have read many books written by Mr. Indiana. I am upset because he is a woefully underrated and under-publicized writer. It is a crime that this is so. America does not value its great writers - only its mediocre ones. It is a shame.Anyway, I love the great Mr. Indiana's books, and I treasure him and his books. I will read any book that. Fantastic Book. Fantastic Writer. Difficult to review because Amazon rules . This is a fantastic book by a fantastic author. I loved it very much and I have tried REPEATEDLY to post my review, but Amazon keeps kicking it out despite heavily editing everything in it. You can read the entire thing here, for grownups. Jeesh, Amazon, get a life. https://herewearegoing.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/reading-5-days-5-books/
Interspersed throughout his vivid recollections are present-day chapters set against the louche culture and raw sexuality of Cuba, where he has lived and worked occasionally for the past fifteen years. Connoisseurs will recognize in this—his most personal book yet—the same mixture of humor and realism, philosophy and immediacy, that have long confused the definitions of genre applied to his writing. Described by the London Review of Books as one of “the most brilliant critics writing in America today,” Gary Indiana is a true radical whose caustic voice has by turns haunted and influenced the literary and artistic establishments. The long-awaited memoir from one of the most acclaimed radical writers in American literature. With I Can Give You Anything but Love, Gary Indiana has composed a literary, unabashedly wicked, and reveali

Careworn copies of this long overdue memoir will change hands for the rest of the year and beyond." -FLAVORWIRE.COM "This memoir is classic Gary Indiana, waspish and gorgeous and a little wary of sharing its heart when sharing its other parts might work just as well."-openlettersmonthly"A graphic and funny memoir, I Can Give You Anything But Love finds Indiana reinventing yet another genre - this time using his own personal narrative. He becomes the connective tissue that binds together a diaspora of subcultures: the beatnik-era experimental writing and happenings of downtown New York, the 1960s co-opted counterculture gone awry, the punk movement that followed, and the art and intellectual circles of the Reagan 80s, when the AIDS crisis was wiping out a gen
