In the California winter of 1965, Jay DeFeo was evicted from the San Francisco apartment that had become a temple for her 2000-pound colossus of a painting, The Rose. The morning after it was safely carried out the front window, DeFeo was forced to destroy the only other artwork she'd started in six years, an enormous painting on paper stapled directly to her hallway wall. The unfinished Estocada-a kind of shadow Rose-was ripped down in unruly chunks, carried to her new home, and reanimated years later through photography, photocopy, collage, and relief. Drawing from largely unpublished archival material, Rip Tales traces Estocada's life and multiple afterlives, offering insight into DeFeo's evolution as an artist and her instinct for self-cataloguing. It's a study of process and processing, and of the contradictions that galvanized the artist's practice: fragment versus whole, subject versus object, and margin versus center.Rip Tales further includes the stories and voices of Bay Area artists whose practices similarly evoke themes of transformation and contingency, including April Dawn Alison, Ruth Asawa, Lutz Bacher, Dewey Crumpler, Vincent Fecteau.. Through essay, interview, eulogy, and recipe, author Jordan Stein interrogates and celebrates a Bay Area ethos that could be defined by its discomfort with definitions. Trading on the literal and metaphorical gravity of DeFeo's last-minute rip, this idiosyncratic book foregrounds the unpredictable edges of artworks, archives, and ideas.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and Tales of a Traveller is a timeless collection of short stories written by Washington Irving, one of America's foremost literary figures. Originally published in the early years of XIX century, this collection has captivated readers for centuries with its haunting and humorous tales that have become iconic pieces of American literature. The book begins with the legendary tale of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, set in a small village in New York state. The story follows the adventures of Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher who becomes infatuated with a local beauty, Katrina Van Tassel. However, Crane's pursuit of Katrina is threatened by the presence of a legendary headless horseman who haunts the village at night. With its eerie atmosphere and vivid description of the supernatural, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has become a classic Halloween read and has been adapted into multiple films and television shows. The second story in this collection is Rip Van Winkle, a beloved American folktale that tells the story of a man who falls asleep for 20 years and wakes up to a completely changed world. Set in the countryside of New York, this story is a humorous and satirical commentary on the American Revolution and the changes that occurred in society during this time. Rip Van Winkle's character is an embodiment of the American spirit of independence and his journey highlights the country's transition from a British colony to a newly formed nation. The remaining tales in this collection, collectively known as Tales of a Traveller, showcase Irving's talent for storytelling and his keen observations of human nature. Written in the form of travelogues, these stories take readers on a journey through Europe and the Middle East, exploring themes of love, adventure, and human folly. Through his vivid descriptions and sharp wit, Irving paints a vivid picture of the places he visited and the people he encountered, creating a sense of wonder and escapism for readers. What makes this collection truly remarkable is not just the timeless stories it contains, but also the imaginative and eloquent writing style of Washington Irving. His use of descriptive language, wit, and humor bring the stories to life and transport readers to another time and place. Through his writing, Irving captures the essence of American folklore and showcases the diversity of the American landscape and its people. Moreover, this collection has had a lasting impact on American literature and popular culture. It has inspired countless adaptations, from movies and TV shows to stage productions and even an amusement park ride. Irving's tales have also influenced numerous other writers, including Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne, and continue to be studied and appreciated by readers of all ages. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and Tales of a Traveller is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature, folklore, or simply looking for a good scare. Through its timeless stories, vivid imagery, and masterful storytelling, this collection remains a significant piece of American literary history and a testament to Washington Irving's enduring legacy.

Washington Irving (1783-1859) was the first American literary artist to earn his living solely through his writings and the first to enjoy international acclaim. In addition to his long public service as a diplomat, Irving was amazingly prolific: His collected works fill forty volumes that encompass essays, history, travel writings, and multi-volume biographies of Columbus and Washington. But it is Irving's mastery of suspense, characterization, tempo, and irony that transforms his fiction into virtuoso performances, earning him his reputation as the father of the American short story. Charles Neider has gathered all sixty-one of Irving's tales, originally scattered throughout his many collections of nonfiction essays and sketches, into one magnificent volume. Together, they reveal his wide range: besides the expected classics like "Rip Van Winkle," "The Spectre Bridegroom," "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and "The Devil and Tom Walker," his fiction embraces realistic tales, ghost stories, parodies, legends, fables, and satires. For those familiar only with secondhand retellings of Irving's most famous tales, this collection offers the opportunity to step inside Washington Irving's imagination and partake of its innumerable and timeless pleasures.
