Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. Amis dès l'université, où ils se rencontrent, David Foster Wallace et Mark Costello partagent la passion du rap et du hiphop.Dès leurs jeunes années et avant tout le monde, ils prennent la mesure de l'ampleur du mouvement culturel, social et esthétique qui émerge, et le prennent pour objet d'étude.Le livre qu'ils en ont tiré définit les bipolarités du pop et du rap, entre rébellion et acceptation, extravagance et délinquance.Il impose au centre de la scène Costello et Wallace à vingt ans, découvrant une nouvelle musique dans toute sa puissance et toute sa gloire, au son si brut que personne ne sait encore trop quoi en faire, avec le génie précurseur qui conduit toute leur oeuvre." Rappeurs de sens est à la fois une analyse pertinente du rap et une parodie tranchante de la critique du rap, exagérément intellectualisée. " Seattle Weekly - Nombre de page(s) : 304 - Poids : 272g - Langue : ANGLAIS (ETATS-UNIS) - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne.

Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di M. Testa e Raimo C.Roma, 2019; br., pp. 232, cm 18x26,5.(Sotterranei). David Foster Wallace è ritenuto la voce più originale e rilevante della letteratura americana degli ultimi decenni; sono celebri il suo romanzo-fiume "Infinite Jest", i racconti e i reportage narrativi, ma è tutta da riscoprire questa sua opera giovanile, scritta a quattro mani con l'amico Mark Costello. È il 1989 e i due, studenti a Harvard, bianchi, coltissimi e middle class, condividono una sorprendente quanto irresistibile attrazione per la musica rap, che è ormai uscita dai ghetti neri inaugurando la sua storia di strepitoso successo mainstream. Prendendo come nume tutelare il critico rock più irregolare e geniale di sempre, Lester Bangs, decidono di provare a spiegare il motivo di questa passione: fra ascolti compulsivi e imbarazzate incursioni nelle sale d'incisione e nei locali hip hop, danno vita a un'analisi personalissima, e tuttora convincente, sulla forza e le contraddizioni del rap, il primo genere musicale autenticamente postmoderno. Libro.

Condition: Near fine. First printing. First edition of this early scholarly consideration of rap, and Wallace's book immediately preceding his classic INFINITE JEST. Written with his friend (the now-novelist Mark Costello) with whom he was living in Boston at the time, SIGNIFYING RAP appeared between the rather unsuccessful GIRL WITH THE CURIOUS HAIR and Wallace's epic INFINITE JEST. Alternating chapters like MCs passing the mic, the authors proceed in a rather Lester Bangs-ian manner (indeed, the book is dedicated to him) engaging in earnest historicity alongside flights of philosophical fancy. Reissued in 2013 following Wallace's death, it is uncommon in the first edition. And while the rear cover erroneously proclaims the book "the first serious consideration of rap" (both Steven Hager and David Topp beat them to that title), it remains an early (if largely) literary and academic interrogation of hip-hop. 9'' x 6''. Original color pictorial wrappers. 140 pages + appendix. Touches of shelfwear with trace faint rubbing. Else bright, clean, and sharp.

First Edition Signed
First appearance of Foster Wallace's first book. Octavo, original wrappers as issued. Signed by David Foster Wallace. In fine condition. The first article is a 20 page essay from David Foster Wallace and Mark Costello on Rap music, entitled Signifying Rappers. Living together in Cambridge in 1989, David Foster Wallace and longtime friend Mark Costello discovered that they shared "an uncomfortable, somewhat furtive, and distinctively white enthusiasm for a certain music called rap/hip-hop." The book they wrote together, set against the legendary Boston music scene, mapped the bipolarities of rap and pop, rebellion and acceptance, glitz and gangsterdom.
