The short answer: Resonant layers of meaning engendered by the artists' juxtaposition of traditional British attitudes with iconography drawn from the social and sexual margins. Performance artists who also use the traditional genres and photography, Gilbert & George are transgressive in that they re-value (rather than de-value) their central British-ness and self-imposed marginal status at the same time. "Over the course of 37 short chapters, Bracewell has created an accessible handbook to their work. Provides candid insights into their working practice, East London, sex, Victorian art, nationalism, and male-ness, among many other subjects" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Gilbert & George collectors.

Paperback. Etat : Collectible-Very Good. He's the only person to whom The Velvet Underground ever played as an audience of one, the first British writer to talk to Patti Smith after her seventeen-year hiatus from rock.

Greil Marcus said that even the 'merely superb' passages of that book read like 'intellectual sunrises,' calling the work 'intoxicated and intoxicating.' The author in question is Michael Bracewell, celebrated surveyor of the punk and rock scenes. Now, through funny, engaging, and occasionally devastating essays about his experience in the thick of the music scene of the 1990s, Bracewell tackles a decade where Greed became disguised as Attitude, where a 'cozy, urban feelgood fable' replaced punk, and where the role of anxiety, so intrinsic to the culture and music of the 1980s, was swapped for a shallow 'I feel your pain' sensibility. Read When Surface Was Depth and discover why Time Out has called Michael Bracewell, in a word, 'terrific.'.…
