Tom Smith @smithtm.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Books read in November. One for #NYRBWomen25 and a couple for Native American Heritage Month. Sad to see the end of the Barrøy Chronicles and Roy Jacobsen. 5 years from reading the first to the last was too long a gap, so a re-read is planned. 3110

A world used to exist where Barbara Loden could go on Dick Cavett to promote her singular independent masterpiece, Wanda, to an audience almost certainly unfamiliar with her and it. Even more remarkable, the clip is a full 2 1/2 minutes long and the first full minute is dialogue free. 28632
