Andrew Wylie has gone all rock and roll. Well, by his own accounts, he's always been rock and roll, but the last few weeks he's been giving interviews a-go-go, reminding us that he's a risk-taker, a rebel, a renegade, a shocker, a rocker, defender of those who are big enough to defend themselves, picker of fights and settler of scores, scourge of all that is quotidian, all that is hebdomadaire. Wylie, by his own imprimatur, is a man of taste in a publishing industry awash with cultural low-lifes, basement Barnums. The hierophant of the haute monde.
