GARY INDIANA is a novelist and critic who has chronicled the despair and hysteria of America in the late twentieth/early twenty-first century. From Horse Crazy (1989), a tale of feverish love set against the backdrop of downtown New York amid the AIDS epidemic, to Do Everything in the Dark (2003), a desolate frieze of New York’s aging bohemians (n+1), Indiana’s novels mix horror and bathos, grim social commentary with passages of tenderest, frailest desire. In 2015, Indiana published his acclaimed anti-memoir, I Can Give You Anything But Love, following it up in 2018 with Vile Days, a collection of his art criticism for the Village Voice. Called one of the most brilliant critics writing in America today by the London Review of Books, the punk poet and pillar of lower-Manhattan society by Jamaica Kincaid, and one of the most important chroniclers of the modern psyche by the Guardian, Gary Indiana remains both inimitable and impossible to pin down.
