Dave Hickey's writing is an atomic bomb of wild styling, brilliant insight, philosophical leaps of a visionary imagination, and astral projections of sixth-sense taste. A perfect combination of Billy the Kid, Waylon Jennings, and Oscar Wilde. --Jerry Saltz

As a writer, Dave is a deep stylist, one of the best in the language. He uses style to tell truths otherwise inaccessible. You can't separate his meaning from the timbre of his prose, whose repertoire includes plain American (which dogs and cats can understand, as Marianne Moore noted), philosophical precision, polemical scorched earth, and defrocked scholarly mandarin. His arguments are places of the heart: bright pastures or dark alleys where you are accompanied by a voice explaining things you suddenly feel you always knew. --Peter Schjeldahl

Feint of Heart, what a substantial necessary collection. It's too big to slip inside the breast pocket of your jacket, where it could deflect a bullet and save your life, if art sustains you the way it did Dave Hickey. But locate it there anyway, right next to your heart where it should be. This thorough and generous book is a glory.
