The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy
Unfortunately I had to put this one down, and it was only due to the fact that every other chapter is written in the mind of a character who is schizophrenic. Maybe McCarthy is so great that it will one … Continue reading
Multiple movies
I seem to be in strong disagreement with most people with recent movies. First example is “Showing Up,” with Michelle Williams by Kelly Reichardt. This movie is basically about a sculptor trying to do her work. The brief professional description … Continue reading
Succession Episode 4

The Forger, by Maggie Peron, based on the memoir by Ciona Schaumhaus. The Forger was also the name of a movie starring Lauren Bacall and Josh Hutcherson, two actors that I could never imagine had ever starred in a film … Continue reading
