"In LATE FAME, a loose adaptation of a novella by Arthur Schnitzler set in New York, Kent Jones sets artistic nostalgia and the restless self-promotion of contemporary artists on a collision path. Between the post office and cocktail bars, influencers and searching for esthetic importance, former poet Ed Saxberger wrestles with his long-buried writing career while the Enthusiasm Society conjures up a romanticized bohemian lifestyle. Jones exposes the genius cult as posturing using sharp wit and reminds us that art only lives where vanity falls silent and doubts are allowed to speak."
