BonusEp. 14: The Lonely Palette Reads Tom Wolfe's The Painted Word

Published: Oct. 3, 2023, 1:36 p.m.

b'Taking a break from writing about astronauts, Tom Wolfe donned his white suit and strolled to the art museums of New York City, letting the incomprehensible literary works of the movement wash over him like a warm bath of clam broth, and producing what, in the words of art critic Rosalind Krauss, "hit the art world like a really bad, MSG-headache-producing, Chinese lunch." \\n\\nFor you, dear listeners, here is the headache-inducing introduction to "The Painted Word," read aloud, as was always intended.\\n\\nThis free preview is available to all listeners, but the full chapter, and all future chapters, will be going to $2 (and above) per episode patrons, so pledge that support to find out just what in the heck Wolfe defines as an "apache dance." It\'s so not what you think it is that it might just be what you think it is.\\n\\nThe next chapter will be released on Tuesday, October 17. Don\'t miss a word, painted or otherwise, by becoming a patron.\\n\\nwww.patreon.com/lonelypalette\\n\\nMusic used:\\nGlenn Miller, \\u201cTuxedo Junction\\u201d\\nThe Blue Dot Sessions, "No Smoking," "Mercurial Vision"\\n\\nOur website:\\nwww.thelonelypalette.com'
