THE
20TH CENTURY'S
GREATEST HITS
by Paul Williams
"Williams dashes to the sidewalk any "high art/low art" arguments still left gasping into this century. His observations and tastes are refined, idiosyncratic, and brilliant."
--Michael Stipe of R. E. M. on The 20th Century's Greatest Hits

"Paul Williams's enthusiasm is a search engine, a virus, a conspiracy theory, an art itself. His twentieth century is almost as important as your own."
--Jonathan Lethem, winner of the National Book Critics Circle 1999 Best Novel Award
"Williams compels readers to start brainstorming their own lists and revisit the various forms of art that have struck a vital nerve in them most deeply. It is Williams's goal to motivate his readers to pause and reflect, and he achieves it."
--Publishers Weekly on The 20th Century's Greatest Hits
