Imaginative Qualities of Actual Things cover

Wildly comic and bitterly satiric, Imaginative Qualities of Actual Things is Gilbert Sorrentino's ruthless, and timeless, attack on the New York art world of the 1950s and '60s. Among the best of Sorrentino's novels, Imaginative Qualities is also, quite simply, the best American novel ever written about writers and artists.

"Has that air of astonished contempt that keeps true satire fresh forever." --Washington Post Book World
