During that time, he posted nearly 3,000 comments, sparking over 700,000 words in response from admirers, skeptics, and the merely curious. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWasted Words\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, the companion volume, presents the full, unedited transcript of these sprawling debates. Dust Bunnies distills Hickey's voice to its sharpest edge-aphorisms lifted from the fray and preserved as compact sparks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnlike \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWasted Words\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, grounded in context and exchange, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDust Bunnies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes the timeless bite of Hickey's style. Always provocative and often outrageous, his pronouncements thrive in this concise form. In a sly twist, the critic once known for long, incendiary riffs proves equally lethal in the jab-like idiom of social media, firing cultural shrapnel back at the digital natives who thought they owned the medium. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConceived and Produced by LG Williams and The Estate of LG Williams(TM)\u003cbr\u003eEdited by Julia Friedman \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e# # # # # \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDave Hickey\u003c\/b\u003e is a distinguished American art and cultural critic and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Dragon: Four Essays on Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e (1993), \u003ci\u003e Air Guitar: Essays on Art and Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), and \u003ci\u003ePirates and Farmers \u003c\/i\u003e(2014).
