Richard Kostelanetz Criticism (968 words)
Richard Kostelanetz, a young critic who is acutely conscious of both his youth and his critical responsibilities, has edited a volume called Young American Writers….
Kostelanetz's unique and fascinating Recyclings, apparently composed from earlier essays by aleatory techniques, are as difficult to review as they are to perform.
Kostelanetz remains a child of the 1960s—when he was in his twenties—a bad boy who refuses to grow up or be bought off, except, on occasion, by his own arrogance.
Richard Kostelanetz : Article : Richard Kostelanetz, More on Innovative Music(ian)s: (334 words)
Richard Kostelanetz POBox 444, Prince St. New York, NY USA 10012-0008, rkostelanetz@bigfoot.com Proposal for More On Innovative Music(ian)s, a second book of RK essays on music About its predecessor, On Innovative Music(ian)s (Limelight, 1989), reviewers said: The musics mentioned [in On Innovative Music(ian)s] are rock, contemporary music, blues.
Kostelanetz continues to be Kostelanetz, an original voice in American letters, fiercely independent, alive to the nuances of various ages, a fighter for wars never quite declared.
Kostelanetz always segues to a judgment, and in concentrated doses, his glinting flakes of bravado snowball into presumptuousness.
