OliverM Posted December 26, 2023 Report Posted December 26, 2023 Just started this today. Seen quite a few Fassbinder movies, interested in the social and political context and enjoyed Penman's style in his last collection of essays which was on musicians. Quote

ejp626 Posted January 1, 2024 Report Posted January 1, 2024 (edited) Had to stay up past my bedtime, but I finished Percival Everett's Erasure just before we went to see American Fiction, which is based upon it. Edited January 1, 2024 by ejp626 Quote
jazzbo Posted January 2, 2024 Report Posted January 2, 2024 A very interesting (not fringe) book that I wish I could read at the same time as my late father. Quote
felser Posted January 6, 2024 Report Posted January 6, 2024 Anything/everything by Greil Marcus is worth reading Quote
medjuck Posted January 6, 2024 Report Posted January 6, 2024 "Erasure" by Percival Everett, the source for the film "American Fiction". The protagonist is named Thelonious Ellison but his nickname is Monk. I like that this is not explained in either the book or the movie. Quote
