The Pickup Artist Summary
|
From the award-winning author of Pirates of the Universe, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, comes The Pickup Artist -- a sharp, witty and subversive exploration of the future of art, culture and society as a whole. In the tradition of Ray Bradbury's fireman, who burns books in Fahrenheit 451, our hero is a pickup artist, a government agent who gathers creative works whose time has come and gone. You see, there's simply not enough room in the world for all the art, so anything past a certain age must be cataloged, archived in the records, and destroyed, paving the way for new art. It's a job that comes with risk, and the pay's lousy, but it covers the bills. And after all, this year's art is better than last year's, isn't it? |
