À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Despite her parents' struggles with addiction, Lilly Dancyger always thought of her childhood as a happy one. But what happens when a journalist interrogates her own rosy memories to reveal the instability around the edges? Dancyger's father, Joe Schactman, was part of the iconic 1980s East Village art scene. He created provocative sculptures out of found materials like animal bones, human hair, and broken glass, and brought his young daughter into his gritty, iconoclastic world. She idolized him--despite the escalating heroin addiction that sometimes overshadowed his creative passion. When Schactman died suddenly, just as Dancyger was entering adolescence, she went into her own self-destructive spiral, raging against a world that had taken her father away. As an adult, Dancyger began to question the mythology she'd created about her father--the brilliant artist, struck down in his prime. Using his sculptures, paintings, and prints as a guide, Dancyger sought out the characters from his world who could help her decode the language of her father's work to find the truth of who he really was.

Reviews
Praise for Burn It Down : "Comprising essays from an amazing cast of contributors...this cathartic and incendiary anthology rages against the notion that women should temper their fury." -- OprahMag.com, "This book is a true accomplishment, one that often left me stunned and disturbed in all the right ways, all the ways brilliant art does." --Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, award-winning author of The Fact of a Body, "Powerful and provocative, this collection is an instructive read for anyone seeking to understand the many faces--and pains--of womanhood in 21st-century America." -- Kirkus Reviews, " Negative Space is a lovely and heartbreaking book; navigating pain, inheritance, and loss. Dancyger's father emerges from these pages as vividly as if I'd known him..." --Carmen Maria Machado, "Using images and text, Negative Space shows us the New York art scene of the 1980's and the author's late father--but neither are ghosts here. They are written with full splendor, tenderness, and possibility. Exploring her artistic legacy, Dancyger confronts what it means to create and build meaning from absence. Candid, thrilling, wickedly smart, Negative Space is one of the greatest memoirs of this, or any, time." --T Kira Madden, award-winning author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls, " Burn It Down is a potent literary offering--a revolution born within the collective rage--expressed, unleashed, sublimated, and capsuled to honor our feminist legacy. Scorched earth speaks through these brilliant women who teach us that vulnerability and ire writ large will save those who have been shamed and condemned. Glorious, punk as hell, and utterly necessary." --Sophia Shalmiyev, award-winning author of Mother Winter " Burn It Down is deeply affirming for any woman who has struggled with anger in this difficult world. There is no judgment here; only alchemy." --Kelly Sundberg, author of Goodbye, Sweet Girl The twenty-two essays collected in Burn It Down are a gift of sanity and clear-eyed moral vision in an increasingly degraded moral world. This book galvanizes women's collective and individual rage, even as it redefines how we could and should understand that anger--and ourselves." --Lacy M. Johnson, author of The Reckonings and The Other Side "This book is a true accomplishment, one that often left me stunned and disturbed in all the right ways, all the ways brilliant art does." --Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, award-winning author of The Fact of a Body, "Candid, thrilling, wickedly smart, NEGATIVE SPACE is one of the greatest memoirs of this, or any, time." --T Kira Madden, award-winning author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls, "Upon turning the final page, I felt both intense grief and pride, despair and hope. I ached for the daughter who missed her father--and truth be told, by then, I missed him too--but beyond that, I felt emboldened, energized, ready. Schactman once reminded Dancyger to "use the whole page" while drawing, to remember the negative space around the figure. It''s a lesson in the weight of absence, one that comes to shape Dancyger''s artistic practice." -- Phoebe Journal "Dancyger''s eye for detail and devoted pursuit of grim truths make this an enthralling read. By shining light into the dark corners of her family''s past, she creates a brilliant and gut wrenching memoir." -- Bust Magazine "As she travels the past picking up remnants and clues from her father''s art and life, Dancyger brings to form new stories of family and identity as their own works of art. Negative Space is a beautiful restoration act." --Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water "Dancyger''s memoir is a page turner, the details in this book stayed with me, I dare you to put it down." --Sofia Perpetua, journalist "In Negative Space , Dancyger achieves that beautiful, often elusive, balance of writing about addiction with equal parts examination and empathy." --Erin Khar, author of Strung Out: One Last Hit and Other Lies that Nearly Killed Me "Other children of addicts who experienced difficult transitions into adulthood will find much to relate to here." --Jessica Wakeman, BookPage "The writing style of Negative Space is not calm water. Rather it is a mad river...both a literary work and an exhibition. Through this memoir, Dancyger has created a gift of immortality for her departed father." -- Porter House Review "Dancyger''s memoir manages to be so many wonderful and heartbreaking things at once. With empathy and gorgeous prose, Dancyger excavates, explores, and attempts to understand her father--a brilliant artist and addict--as he was: flawed, complicated, and so very, very loved." -- The Millions "[ Negative Space ] rejects traditional expectations of closure, instead confidently examining the dual nature of parent-child relationships, creative legacy, and artistic creation as an act of communion." --Claudia McCarron, Ploughshares "Dancyger is an extraordinary writer, and her bravely introspective memoir will blow you away." --Elizabeth Ann Entenman, Hello Giggles "An exquisitely intimate unveiling of not only her father, but of her mother and herself. The language is elegant, precise, boney with wisdom and devotion. Each sentence is a finely wrought work of art unto itself." --Jane Ratcliffe, Electric Lit "A searing portrait of grief and anger that you won''t be able to put down." --Vit Cavage, Debutiful " Much like her father had, Dancyger crafts a striking composition out of found objects, a poignant portrait of the identities we construct out of grief." -- Oprah Magazine "Readers acquire a love and respect for both Schactman''s work as well as the author''s." --Gabino Iglesias, NPR " Negative Space [is] a penetrating, heartfelt story, one which plunges into the rippling depths of grief and remembrance only to change us for the better." --Jacquelyn Marie Gallo, The Brooklyn Rail "this striking memoir does what an outstanding memoir should: It not only encourages its readers to explore their pasts from new perspectives, but models the bravery needed to gaze behind the curtain of memory and face whatever realities you may find there." --Karla Strand, Ms. Magazine " Negative Space is a significant debut. Using her exceptional journalistic skills, Dancyger recounts the indelible life of her father, an artist and a heroin addict, who died when she was 12. Dancyger''s dexterous usage of time functions as a critical lens, panning in, out, and around, keeping memory fluid." --Yvonne Conza, LA Review of Books, "Upon turning the final page, I felt both intense grief and pride, despair and hope. I ached for the daughter who missed her father--and truth be told, by then, I missed him too--but beyond that, I felt emboldened, energized, ready. Schactman once reminded Dancyger to "use the whole page" while drawing, to remember the negative space around the figure. It's a lesson in the weight of absence, one that comes to shape Dancyger's artistic practice." -- Phoebe Journal "Dancyger's eye for detail and devoted pursuit of grim truths make this an enthralling read. By shining light into the dark corners of her family's past, she creates a brilliant and gut wrenching memoir." -- Bust Magazine "As she travels the past picking up remnants and clues from her father's art and life, Dancyger brings to form new stories of family and identity as their own works of art. Negative Space is a beautiful restoration act." --Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water "Dancyger's memoir is a page turner, the details in this book stayed with me, I dare you to put it down." --Sofia Perpetua, journalist "In Negative Space , Dancyger achieves that beautiful, often elusive, balance of writing about addiction with equal parts examination and empathy." --Erin Khar, author of Strung Out: One Last Hit and Other Lies that Nearly Killed Me, "Dancyger collects essays from 22 female writers contemplating (and unleashing) anger, continuing the #MeToo ethos of emotional transparency and righteous indignation, to bracing and powerful effect. The writers are a diverse group and cover a wide range of experiences.... [ Burn It Down is] a cathartic and often inspiring reading experience." -- Publishers Weekly, "Lilly Dancyger creates an unflinching account of her artist father's snakebitten life and his struggles with addiction - peeling back the layers around an artistic practice that seems weighted with vulnerability. Ultimately, he comes painfully alive as Dancyger charts an elegiac path to her own self-discovery." --Cynthia Carr, author of Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz, "This book is so many things: a daughter's heartrending tribute, a love story riddled by addiction, a mystery whose solution lies at the intersection of art and memory. Together, they form a chorus that I could not turn away from." --Melissa Febos, Award-winning author of Whip Smart and Abandon Me
