The San Diego Reader has said that "Tosches's best sentences uncoil like rattlesnakes and strike with a venom that spreads poison through all the little Sunday-school ideas you've held dear." And Rolling Stone has said that "Tosches can write like a wild rockabilly raveup. He can be elegant as a slow blues." The Nick Tosches Reader is the author's own selection of his best work over the past thirty years, including fiction, poetry, interviews, rock writing, investigative journalism, and criticism. First published in major magazines, obscure underground periodicals, and his own best-selling books, many of these selections deal with rock 'n' roll and cultural icons-but there are also pieces on everything from William Faulkner to organized crime to heavyweight boxing, including the Vanity Fair feature that gave rise to Tosches's major new book on Sonny Liston, published by Little, Brown. Here is "a unique and darkly impressionistic cultural history" of the last three decades as only Nick Tosches could write it. 40244 4 2000 The Nick Tosches Reader total:68|5:19|4:33|3:15|2:1|1:0| 68 274 83 4 4 0 true false Tue Nov 17 06:31:55 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 06:39:37 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jul 28 05:57:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 05:58:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 03 13:57:03 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 03 13:57:57 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Thu Mar 29 10:39:09 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 29 10:40:06 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 23:40:21 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 23:40:21 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 14 17:57:47 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 17:57:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 19:46:24 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 19:46:25 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Dec 04 10:51:13 -0800 2009 Fri Sep 25 09:03:11 -0700 2009 Fri Dec 04 10:51:13 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 30 21:31:31 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 21:31:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 19 17:40:25 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 17:40:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 15:42:47 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 15:42:47 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Aug 07 01:23:30 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 01:23:30 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 02 18:39:32 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 18:39:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sat May 30 09:06:31 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 09:06:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 29 14:36:13 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 14:36:13 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 07 16:02:14 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 16:02:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 23 12:56:45 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 12:56:45 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Feb 10 19:36:29 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 19:36:29 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Feb 05 20:42:37 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 20:42:37 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 22 19:25:25 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 19:25:25 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=40659
