Description
“Esner and Kisters do an excellent job of presenting different artists battling different issues throughout their media careers. A lot like detectives, they piece together all the clues from history to show what happened, and why many of these major events led to the next mediation of the artist. Readers might find themselves asking similar questions throughout each case. … Overall, anyone’s objections to life and media might change after reading this book.” (Courtney Patterson, CBQ Communication Booknotes Quarterly, Vol. 51 (1-2), January-June, 2019)
