A collection of Snow’s most celebrated writings, SNOW BUSINESS articulates with majestic precision the thorny, unbreakable bond between mass media, popular culture, and art. Kim Kardashian’s novel Dollhouse is just as much a work of “autofiction” as the writing of Olivia Laing and Annie Ernaux; Spring Breakers has succeeded in updating The Great Gatsby; and Francis Bacon still eludes everyone.
