Synopsis
I always thought my prose was half way between Ezra Pound and Robert Benchley, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Where's Waldo? I think thatis one thing I share with Richard Prince. We are both PhDis in American shtick.--Glenn OiBrien
Synopsis
Old friends and veterans of Manhattan's late 70s downtown scene, writer and editor Glenn O'Brien and artist and collector Richard Prince share a love of the surface flotsam of American life--we are both PhDs in American shtick, as O'Brien puts it. This beautifully bound, slip-cased volume marks their first collaboration, setting O'Brien's sparse verse alongside Prince's equally reduced black blobs in a mutual vocabulary of simplicity and humor of gesture. This limited edition of Human Nature comes with a print by Prince and is signed by Prince and O'Brien.
