After the Avant garde synopsis

This study combines contemporary art and culture among Boyers' articles, which focus sharply on writers, filmmakers, painters and critics, first published in TLS, The American Scholar, Granta, American Poetry Review, and Salmagundi. Articles respond to diversity in the "events" that constitute our cultural life, and take it as its core theme what Boyers calls "loss of the object" in the art and writing of some prominent contemporaries.

The term defines a radical inability to think clearly about actual or imagined things that give a point of action or concentration. Argues that this deficit has produced different kinds of indifference and dishonesty, not in today's art, as in the various critical theories and dominant patterns of response between us.

We speak of characters like Jean-Luc Godard, Mario Vargas Lousa, Marcel Duchamp, John Ashbury, and William Styron. Boerz often casts his impressions as a response to the theories that have gained especially among modern literary thinkers an indisputable currency.

His essays constitute a negative aesthetic, a "recoil definition" of postmodern art, and the ideology that promotes or defends it.
