- Summary
- Travis Jeppesen' 'Bad Writing' is a collection of interconnected essays and "fictocriticisms", many appearing in print for the first time, that etches a pathway for a truly radical "bad" modernism in art and literature. Erudite, witty, and occasionally controversial, 'Bad Writing' reinvigorates the too-often staid medium of art criticism as an iconoclastic and inventive literary art form. "Travis Jeppesen's willful defiance of the commodification of art criticism is not just necessary, it's outrageous. Following leads from Gertrude Stein and Bjarne Melgaard, zombie formalism and flarf, tracing perceptions too peculiar to name or too confusing to process, he fails better than one could have possibly hoped for." --Barry Schwabsky, art critic, The Nation.
