Grouse County is a curious place but a familiar one to the readers of The New Yorker, which published eleven consecutive chapters of this brilliant new novel. Tom Drury writes about modern life in the American Midwest with deadpan humor and unsparing affection that have captured the imaginations of readers from Miami to Sacramento.At the heart of The End of Vandalism we find an unforgettable triangle: Dan Norman, the county sheriff whose empathy exceeds his love of law enforcement; Tiny Darling, a part-time thief who smashes up a "dance against vandalism"; and Louise Darling, the woman forced to choose between them, although the choice is not that hard. Tiny loses Louise, Louise loses her sense of self, and the three find themselves on an epic journey through the beauty and sadness of contemporary life. Meanwhile, a remarkable array of supporting characters move to center stage with grace. And seasons change, quietly - and sometimes loudly - affecting the people of Grouse County.The End of Vandalism marks the debut of an exceptional American writer.

A thief vacuums the church before stealing the chalice....A lonely woman paints her toenails in a drafty farmhouse....A sleepless man watches his restless bride scatter their bills beneath the stars....Welcome to Grouse County...."Tom Drury's loving, wryly intelligent take on Grouse County is at once sophisticated and compassionate. Drury's prose is quietly heartbreaking, laugh-out-loud funny, and always, absolutely convincing. The End of Vandalism marks the beginning of a distinguished American career."--Jayne Anne Phillips"Remarkable...Every so often a debut novel appears that simply stuns you with the elegance and beauty of its writing....A+"--Entertainment Weekly"So amiably dense with anecdote and observation, the reader is bounced along by its energy....Grouse County is unabashedly American, a setting both nostalgic and wittily contemporary....In a sense, the main character is the county itself, with its eccentricities, rituals, quarrels and comforts."--The Boston Sunday Globe"Brilliant, wonderfully funny...It's hard to think of any novel--let alone a first novel--in which you can hear the people so well. This is indeed deadpan humor, and Tom Drury is its master."--Annie Dillard"Rich and readable...[Drury] possesses his made-up world with the same authority Sherwood Anderson brought to Winesburg, Ohio, and Faulkner to Yoknapatawpha County....The many characters who walk their separate paths end up weaving each other inside a mysterious pattern, in which they themselves are also caught."--USA TodayChosen by New York magazine and Publishers Weekly asONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 1994

Each of us lives in more than just the physical world; we dwell as well in a psychic environment that permeates the entire earth sphere. Although this invisible atmosphere is usually benign, it does have a dark side that can harm us. If colleagues at work, for example, are angry and irritated, their fuming and fussing poison the psychic environment--and assault everyone present. Most people are unaware how commonplace such psychic vandalism is--and how much of their own moods of pessimism, guilt, and worry are caused or magnified by the offensive emotions of others. This book, Psychic Vandalism, is a landmark examination of the nature of psychic vandalism, how it occurs, its impact on our health and well-being, and what can be done to prevent it from ruining our lives. It is the product of a lifetime of investigation by the author, Robert R. Leichtman, M.D.

The first comprehensive examination of modern iconoclasm, The Destruction of Art looks at deliberate attacks against works of art since the nineteenth century. Dario Gamboni challenges the assumption that iconoclasm is a thing of the past and shows that it is in fact a widespread contemporary cultural phenomenon that includes vandalism, political protest, and censorship. He asks what iconoclasm can teach us about the place of works of art and material culture in society.

In this book - the first comprehensive examination of modern iconoclasm - Dario Gamboni looks closely at deliberate attacks against works of art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He probes for motives and reassesses the circumstances in which institutions was well as individuals have attempted to eradicate public buildings, churches, sculptures, paintings, and other works of art. His interest spurred by the destruction of public monuments in the Communist bloc after 1989, Gamboni shows that iconoclasm is not just a thing of the past, but is also an international contemporary cultural phenomenon that includes explicable and inexplicable vandalism, political protest, and censorship. He examines incidents of destruction, some comic and others disquieting, in the United States, France, Britain, Switzerland, Germany, the former Soviet Union and its satellites, and elsewhere. To explore the relationship between the destruction of art in this century and older forms of iconoclasm, the author presents case studies of such European and American controversies as the Suffragette protests in London's National Gallery and the hotly-debated removal of Richard Serra's Tilted Arc in New York.

Last winter, a man tried to break Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain sculpture. The sculpted foot of Michelangelo’s David was damaged in 1991 by a purportedly mentally ill artist. With each incident, intellectuals must confront the unsettling dynamic between destruction and art.  Renowned art historian Dario Gamboni is the first to tackle this weighty issue in depth, exploring specters of censorship, iconoclasm, and vandalism that surround such acts.Gamboni uncovers here a disquieting phenomenon that still thrives today worldwide. As he demonstrates through analyses of incidents occurring in nineteenth- and twentieth-century America and Europe, a complex relationship exists among the evolution of modern art, destruction of artworks, and the long history of iconoclasm. From the controversial removal of Richard Serra’s Tilted Arc from New York City’s Federal Plaza to suffragette protests at London’s National Gallery, Gamboni probes the concept of artist’s rights, the power of political protest and how iconoclasm sheds light on society’s relationship to art and material culture. Compelling and thought-provoking, The Destruction of Art forces us to rethink the ways that we interact with art and react to its power to shock or subdue.
