Title: MORE GOOD WRITING?
Review: WOW, I have read all the previous reviews on Kevin Youngs' To Repel Ghosts and I hear two etremely different views. I read the book. I did not buy it and thought it was not worth buying. I agree that it is pretentious and nothing more than a romantic way of looking at Basquiat. I also agree that one doesn't need to be poor to write about the poor but the flip side to that is to understand more and not simply romanticise or exploit. Like painter, Julian Schnabels' film adaption of Basquiat(titled the same! I apploud those who champion Youngs' work. They are fighting for a voice that repels more than ghosts.
Is the review positive or negative?
