review: Editorial Reviews Review "Certain artists―one might call them our poets of nostalgia―are easy to venerate, harder to penetrate. I’m thinking of Nabokov, or (his natural American descendent) Wes Anderson. For all their beauty, their elegance, their humor, the work remains so cautiously composed it might be difficult to enter into an intimate (as opposed to merely personal) relationship with it. Here comes John Andrew Fredrick, though, whose Fucking Innocent does exactly that. With a reckless, loose-limbed intelligence, a deep well of erudition, and a truly infectious love for his subject ―a love that never tips over into worship―Fredrick lights up an oeuvre from within, and does it so delightfully one forgets one is reading criticism at all. Indeed, he shatters the mirror. For all its talk of self-reflection―Anderson’s great and abiding theme, after all― Fucking Innocent delivers much more: the world and the artist and the sky."― Matthew Specktor , author of American Dream Machine About the Author John Andrew Fredrick was born in Richmond, VA, and grew up in Santa Barbara, CA. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara, he formed an indie rock band called The Black Watch that has released 17 records to considerable acclaim. He lives in Los Angeles.
