An amusing comedy of remarriage; the second of Kaurismaki’s Proletariat Trilogy; a classic musical; a heartbreaking Fassbinder melodrama. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Fun week: James Whale directed romantic comedy; Trevor Howard in a very good British noir; a silent film that should be seen as a classic; a very funny film about a fictional Siberian band touring the US. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Watched my second Aki Kaurismäki film tonight. I’ve definitely slept on his work for too long.

Reading Strumpet City pushed me to explore Irish writing in a much more systematic way and ultimately led to me teach courses in Irish fiction (though I’ve still never taught Strumpet City).

Thanks, Gabino! Since the All Star break just ended, I want to share my two nonfiction baseball books: 100 MILES OF BASEBALL (co-written with Heidi LM Jacobs) and MAKESHIFT FIELDS. Both take the reader to baseball far outside the major leagues.

Thanks, Gabino. ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines a look at the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mom’s life and grief at her death. It’s partially about how all the different parts of our lives fit together.

I think I might want to be William Powell. Or maybe just Nick Charles.

Thanks, Gabino. ON COMICS AND GRIEF is about the comics of 1976 and the life and death of my mother. Paul Young wrote a terrific review that gives a very good sense of the book: muse.jhu.edu/article/960648

An overlooked noir gem, a disturbing example of Dogme 95, and a bit of Hitchcock #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

ON COMICS AND GRIEF is part creative nonfiction, part comics studies. It’s an experimental text that combines a look at the comics of 1976 with writing about my mother and my grief at her death. Info from the publisher at the link below. www.wlupress.wlu.ca/Books/O/On-C...
