      abstract = {In her nearly quarter-century (1968-1991) reviewing films  at The New Yorker, Pauline Kael became the most widely  read, the most influential, the most powerful, and, often  enough, the most provocative critic in America. Her  passionate engagement with the work of a new generation of  artists--and her ability to share her enthusiasm with a  fresh, vernacular, and confrontational style--changed the  face of film criticism. On the tenth anniversary of her  death comes the first full-scale biography: author Brian  Kellow has interviewed family members, friends, colleagues,  and adversaries and written a detailed portrait of this  remarkable, often relentlessly driven woman. Kellow  examines the controversy Kael generated by overstepping  what many considered the boundaries of critical propriety.  He follows her successes as well as her battles. For anyone  who loves film or is concerned about the role of criticism  in the arts, this book is a revelatory biography of one of  the most influential women of the past half century.--From  publisher description.},
