White Girls de Hilton Als
Descripción - Críticas One of the A.V. Club's Favorite Books of the Year. Named one of Kirkus' Best Books of 2013 'I read Als not only because he is utterly extraordinary, which he is, but for the reason one is often drawn to the best writers--because one has a sense that one's life might depend on them. White Girls is a book, a dream, an enemy, a friend, and, yes, the read of the year.' --Junot Diaz 'Hilton Als's White Girls gave me a gift very few books do: of hearing a voice that's new, that comes as if from a different room. A nonsensical thing to say in one sense: he's been writing brilliantly and visibly for almost 20 years. But there's something about the work in this book. It's a leap forward not merely for Als as a writer but for the peculiar American genre of culture-crit-as-autobiography. Its bravery lies in a set refusal to allow itself all sorts of illusions--about race, about sex, about American art--and the subtlety of its thinking is wedded maypole-fashion to a real confessional lyricism. In the way Anthony Heilbut's recent Fan Who Knew Too Much taught me that I and everyone else I knew had a lot of black gay man in us, Als taught me that I have a lot of white girl in me, too, and so does he. And so do you, is where it gets interesting. If you think that sounds like another blurb-job or post-postmodern twaddle, I defy you to read this book and come away with a mind unchanged.' --John Jeremiah Sullivan, author of Pulphead 'Hilton Als takes the reader on a wild ride through the complex, often rough, terrain of art, music, sexuality, race. What he writes--especially about Michael Jackson, Eminem, Louise Brooks, Richard Pryor, Gone With the Wind--is riveting.'--Elaine Pagels 'A comprehensive and utterly lovely collection of one of the best writers around.' --Boston Globe 'Only Als (theater critic, The New Yorker; The Women) could write about ringworm--'my cruddy friend,' 'a dark flower,' 'an erotic 'pain' I could not wait to get my hands on'--and make it sound good. His first book since 1998 contains 13 pieces, most of them previously published, in which he meanders through fiction, criticism, and memoir along the axes of race, gender, and sexuality. He touches on aspects of his own life and on various cultural figures: Truman Capote, Flannery O'Connor, Malcolm X, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Andre Leon Talley, Louise Brooks, and Richard Pryor, among others--all examined as 'white girls' or in relation to them. (Als asks in 'Tristes Tropiques,' 'How could one be a white girl and hate it?') On writing about pictures of lynching victims, he admits, 'I have become a cliche' by answering white America's request to 'Tell me about yourself, meaning, Tell me how you've suffered. Isn't that what you people do? Suffer nobly, even poetically sometimes? Doesn't suffering define you?' VERDICT Suffering does not define Als; his art--loping, loopy, yet astonishingly precise language--does. This is a book that readers will want to spend the rest of their lives with: a searching, insistent, and thoroughly wise collection.' --Molly McArdle, Library Journal (Starred Review) 'With roots in Barbados and Brooklyn and a deep immersion in the endless identity issues attendant upon being a gay man of color, bold, versatile critic and New Yorker staff writer Als continues the inquiry he launched in his first book, The Women, (1996). Here's a clue to the layered and spiked complexities of this essay collection: one of the 'white girls' Als portrays is Truman Capote, another is Michael Jackson as well as Flannery O'Connor and silent film star Louise Brooks. Jennifer Lee, Richard Pryor's widow, appears in Als' bristling portrait of the brilliant performer. He also portrays with fresh insight Marshall Mathers III, that is, Eminem. Als is pyrotechnic, lifting off the page in a blast of stinging light and concussive booms that somehow coalesce into profound cultural and psychological illuminations. More covertly scorching is the long, wrenching essay 'Tristes Tropiques,' an exploration of love and friendship, fear and fascination during the AIDS epidemic. Whether his subject is his mother, himself, or seminal artists, Als is a fine, piercing observer and interpreter, a writer of lashing exactitude and veracity.' --Donna Seaman, Booklist 'It's hard to know what to say about White Girls, by Hilton Als. These essays defy categorization. They are unwieldy, and meandering and as self-indulgent as they are intriguing. In the first, 'Tristes Tropiques,' Als ruminates on his significant relationships with men, and their relationships with men, and the performance of friendship and interracial and intraracial dynamics. Of his friendship with SL, he says, 'In short, we were not your standard Negro story, or usual Negro story. We did not feel isolated because we were colored. We did not want to join the larger world through violence or manipulation. We were not interested in the sentimental tale that's attached itself to the Negro male body by now: the embodiment of isolation. We had each other, another kind of story worth telling.' That might describe this entire collection--not your standard Negro story. Als not only looks inward. His essays discuss Truman Capote, Flannery O'Connor, Michael Jackson and much more. As a whole, the book is an interrogation of blackness and white womanhood. The prose is both intelligent and inscrutable. The essay 'Gone With the Wind' is a masterpiece. This was a book I hated as much as I loved it for the incisive cultural criticism that has made me question nearly everything.' --Roxane Gay, The Nation 'Cultural critic Hilton Als might have written the essay collection of the year with this month's White Girls (McSweeney's), if indeed it were merely a book of essays. Instead, each piece explores so many genres--melding fiction with fact, the deeply personal to the staid journalistic profile--that Als isn't so much playing multiples chords at once as multiple pianos. The book opens with a piece called 'Tristes Tropiques'--the title suggesting a moody emotional travelogue--that follows the writer through his own love and losses and sets up the many ruptures and reconfigurations of identity to the point that even the titular taxonomy of 'white girls' eventually comes to describe a black, male lover or Truman Capote or so many cinematic, streetwise women searching for their place. Eminem, Flannery O'Connor, Richard Pryor, lynching photographs, Andre Leon Talley--each serves as a separate starting point on an authorial trek to undo the conventional read for a much more complicated set of possibilities. Als has created a work of art.' --Christopher Bollen, Interview Magazine '[E]verything Als is saying is a vivid, bright truth'--Lambda Literary 'Brilliant.'----NY Journal of Books 'Brilliant lunacy.'----Bookforum 'Als is one of the most consistently unpredictable and surprising essayists out there, an author who confounds our expectations virtually every time he writes.' --Los Angeles Times 'Effortless, honest and fearless'----Rich Benjamin, The New York Times Book Review 'Hilton Als's White Girls (McSweeney's)--has reached out and grabbed me by my lapels.' --Library Journal 'Als' work is so much more than simply writing about being black or gay or smart. It's about being human.' --Kirkus (Starred Review) 'Mesmerizing.' --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) 'Nothing short of masterful.' --HTML Giant 'We all have a little white girl inside us, some of us more than others. That might sound like a joke, but New Yorker critic Hilton Als will make you believe it's true. He begins his captivating new book, White Girls, by examining the role white girls played in his life as a gay black man living in New York during the early years of AIDS. Then, in a series of essays, he claims that a diverse range of historical figures -- Richard Pryor, Malcolm X, Michael Jackson, even actual white women like Flannery O'Connor -- were shaped by their relationships or identification with white girls. There's no overarching manifesto: 'White girlness' isn't presented as good or bad; it means something different to each of his subjects. But his theories are so original they'll make you think differently about race and gender whether you're a white girl or not. White Girls' arguments don't always work. For example, Als plays Freud with Malcolm X and Eminem, insisting that both men needed to reject their white mothers in order to 'marry' their careers. (Huh?) But his willingness to rankle conservatives and liberals alike is thrilling, and his sharper ideas will be debated for years. Take his analysis of Truman Capote's novel Other Voices, Other Rooms, whose cover shows the author posing like a pinup star. At the time, he notes, most female authors posed like men on their dust jackets, hoping to earn male peers' respect. 'Capote became a woman in 1947 just when 'real' women would not or could not,' Als writes. Debatable? Sure. Fascinating? Definitely. Or take the chapter where Als admits to falling for Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind. 'I would have made her forget that I was colored...because I knew I could make her love me,' he writes. 'But how do you get people to ignore their own history?' Of course, he knows how to get people to remember their history, and own up to their place within it: write a book about identity that challenges people as much as this one.'----Entertainment Weekly 'This book will change you.' --Chicago Tribune '[Als] is a poet on the page, and his insistence on breaking the essay form defines his liberation as a writer.' --The Rumpus '[Hilton] Als interweaves personal revelation with cultural touchstones, sometimes hopping from topic to topic at a breakneck speed, other times examining concepts so strategically and methodically his words become scalpels, flaying open unacknowledged bias, privilege, and conflict where he sees it.' --The A.V. Club '[Hilton Als] is above all a writer fascinated by people: their little habits and turns of phrase, their multi-layered sexualities, and their unfathomable relationships to each other or, in the case of his famous subjects, to the world.' --UTNE 'Mr. Als is a national treasure.' --the New York Observer Reseña del editor 'The read of the year.' --Junot Diaz White Girls, Hilton Als's first book since The Women 16 years ago, finds one of The New Yorker's boldest cultural critics deftly weaving together his brilliant analyses of literature, art, and music with fearless insights on race, gender, and history. The result is an extraordinary, complex portrait of 'white girls,' as Als dubs them--an expansive but precise category that encompasses figures as diverse as Truman Capote and Louise Brooks, Michael Jackson and Flannery O'Connor. In pieces that hairpin between critique and meditation, fiction and nonfiction, high culture and low, the theoretical and the deeply personal, Als presents a stunning portrait of a writer by way of his subjects, and an invaluable guide to the culture of our time. Biografía del autor Before working at The New Yorker, Hilton Als was a staff writer for The Village Voice and an editor-at-large at Vibe. He has also written articles for The Nation and collaborated on film scripts for Swoon and Looking for Langston. The winner of writing awards from the New York Association of Black Journalists and the Guggenheim Foundation, he lives in New York City.
