Raised by Wolves: The Turbulent Art and Times of Quentin Tarantino Paperback - 2006

by Jerome Charyn


From the publisher

When Quentin Tarantino was eight years old, and all the regular kids were lining up to see the latest from Disney, Tarantino's mother took him to see Carnal Knowledge. Sound about right? A high-school dropout who never attended film school, Tarantino got all the education he needed while working the register at Los Angeles's fabled Video Archives. His enthusiasms -- for pop culture (foreign and domestic), eye-popping aesthetics, and genre films -- would become notorious and infectious. The outrageous success of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction essentially killed off Tarantino the man, and gave birth to Tarantino the myth. Here, from legendary novelist and historian Jerome Charyn, is a portrait of both the man AND the myth -- and the mind behind them both. More than a biography, more than a critical study, Raised by Wolves is a feisty and astute reckoning with Tarantino en toto.

First line

In Li'l Abner, created by Al Capp, there's a comic strip within the comic strip about Fearless Fosdick, a feckless cop who is always being attacked and shot at, the bullets whizzing through his body, leaving round holes that can't hurt him and are like a trademark.
