Robert Glück’s classic of postmodern fiction, ‘Jack the Modernist’
| “Jack the Modernist is the novel with the most information and most beauty.... This republication is cause for celebration not only because Jack the Modernist is an utter joy to read, but because it calls our attention to an era-defining artist and public intellectual in our midst.” —Lucy Ives Robert Glück
Introduction by Rob HalpernRobert Glück’s Jack the Modernist portrays the slow disintegration of a love affair in the early 1980s. Bob is excited and lonely. He meets and pursues the elusive Jack, a director who is able to transform others without altering himself. Bob goes to the baths, gossips on the phone, goes to a bar, thinks about werewolves, has an orgasm, and discovers a number of truths about Jack. Out of print for decades, Glück’s paean to desire and obsession explores the everyday in an idiom both intimate and lush. Sensual as well as sensational, self-conscious but never self-serious, Jack the Modernist is a candid and heartfelt lover’s discourse unlike any other. ”In Jack the Modernist self-exploration is so precise as to become impersonal. And some real sex at last. One is reminded of Genet and the transmutation of sex into something beyond sex. Glück even makes the disappointments, impasses and blind alleys of love moving and interesting. He seems to say everything in a fresh way.“ —William S. Burroughs For three days only, Jack the Modernist is available at 25% off along with two other books by Robert Glück: |
