In Dime Stories, a collection of 86 essays from his freewheeling Newcity column, artist-poet-writer Tony Fitzpatrick discourses on a wide range of topics: politics, movies, books, nature, guns, crime, art, history, comics, his dog Chooch, you name it. By design and by nature, the essays are highly opinionated, and Fitzpatrick has some strong, heartfelt opinions, rendered in often lovely and always frank prose.
You’d be well served to dwell on the intricate collages that accompany each essay. Rendered in exquisite detail, they come out a lot more beautiful on glossy paper in book form than they do in newsprint.
