What is pretentiousness? Why are we afraid of it? And more controversially: why is it vital to a thriving culture? Drawing on the authors own experiences growing up and working at the more radical edges of the arts, this book is a timely defence of pretentiousness as a necessity for innovation and diversity in our culture.Publisher: Fitzcarraldo EditionsAuthor(s): Dan FoxIllustration(s): 12 Illustrations, black and whiteNumber of pages: 176Publication date: 2024Dimensions: 198 x 115 x 11Cover type: Paperback / softback
