“The way one locates anything in the landscape is to draw an X--two independent lines crossing at a single point. The narrator of Club Night turns this common practice into a strategy. His problem: to locate the work, the personality, and thinking of an arch American, the painter-critic Manny Farber, in the landscape of contemporary culture. His solution: to criss-cross Farber's work--his painting and his writing--with what at first seems very remote from it--the activities of an outfit of model railroad hobbyists who will pursue their rituals on the Del Mar fairgrounds a few miles away from Farber's painting studio.” J.-P.
