Crimeways


Crimeways

In the same vein as Heartways and Futureways—the first two books in the Ways series—Crimeways is literature as conceptual art: a unique collaboration between the Whitney Museum of American Art, Printed Matter, Inc., and Arsenal. Crimeways is a faux mystery/crime "novel" in which each chapter is written by a different contributor, all of whom create stories of cops, pis, and fugitives that simultaneously work within and outside the genre.
Crimeways tells the tale of a New York under seige by aesthetic terrorists who scheme to destroy a New York landmark in the name of art. The book´s hero, who stumbles onto the plot, attempts to save New York from artistic fascists and bad taste.
