"Like the Roth novel, this short story contains some of the most exquisite dialogue I've ever read. It's only four pages, covering about 45 minutes, as a couple waits for a train in Spain. You come to realize that they're talking about her having an abortion. Actually, they never speak about it overtly, but their story is just heartbreaking. Again, it's about people who are recognizing the distance between them. It's a very appealing story for an actor because drama exists in what's not spoken."

Book Favorite

"At one point, I was transcribing Shattuck’s journals—I don’t know what happened with that, but as a result I feel connected to this book, which explores early 20th century Paris through the artists of the time, in a strangely personal way. Also, it’s about a writer looking at art, which is what I was doing with the 20th Century Art Book, so there’s a thread of what I like about it in the artist’s perception of art—just curating, showing, explaining, unpacking, translating from abstraction."

Movie Rating

The Darkest Minds seemed like it was going to have a good plot, but the execution wasn't great. The movie probably needed more time to be able to dive into details. It took the majority of the film's run time to get to their destination, and when they got there, things started happening, but then the movie just ended. It felt a bit inside-out, if that makes sense to you. It had good potential, but it ended up in a downward spiral, and couldn't save itself.

This follow up to A Dark Lure did not disappoint. Set in the same area, it revisits a few characters from the debut but is almost entirely a stand alone novel. It was exciting and thrilling, just like it’s predecessor. The characters were well rounded and had the depth and realism that make a great novel. I wish the “initial” case had been delved into a bit deeper but I was very happy with the story and all its components. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Rolling Stone's 221st greatest album of all time

My brother bought me this album on minidisc as a birthday present in 2001 I think. Prior to that I hadn't even realised you could buy albums on minidisc.
I didn't get into it then and I really struggled to get into it now. I like a bit of lo-fi stuff, but for me it was a step too far, and the production meant it was hard for me to get into. Just not for me.
