Session5

The text for our reading on 30th October is Tom Wolfe's 'Las Vegas (Too Noisy.......etc)' published in 1966. 
There is a companion text by Dave Hickey 'At Home In The Neon' published in his marvelous book 'Air Guitar' in 1997. In 'Air Guitar', Hickey obviously postulates the role of art critic as 'air guitarist', an extremely perceptive move I would say. He also begins the book with a quote you may enjoy, from Keith Richards: 
"Let me be clear about this, I don't have a drug problem, I have a police problem'. 

Due to our photocopying frenzy on Friday, I hope you already have copies. If you do not, I am once more available in the office an hour either side of lunch on Monday 26th.
