"I was an undergraduate art student when this film came out, and it was the reason I decided to apply to graduate film school. I find it hard to imagine the independent film movement without Stranger Than Paradise. It is entirely personal and impossible to copy —the kind of movie I hope for all the time."

2017 | Alternative, Pop, Rock
Out of Range is serene and difficult, trippy and literate, loosely countrified and footnote-ably dense and referential, a zone-out record with a library card. Not many albums simultaneously slow down your pulse rate and rev up your brain

When two women are kidnapped outside of a "fat farm," the race is on to find them. However, the ransom demand is very unusual. Might that be a clue? With vivid characters and great suspense, I raced through this one.

"The people of this sci-fi novel live underground in darkness. They retain ‘light’ in their language, but only in allusions to a lost paradise. They worship Light (‘For Light’s sake!’), and their theology includes demonic figures that engineered the fall from Light’s grace. The demons are called Strontium, Cobalt, and the arch-devil, ‘Hydrogen Himself.’ Go figure, as you Americans say."

"Anne’s frank, witty memoir of her incredible life within the nexus of British aristocracy—born the daughter of an earl, she was lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret and married to one of the most colorful eccentrics of the 20th century, Colin Tennant, the man who bought a barren rock in the Caribbean and turned it into the fabled jet-set paradise of Mustique."

This was an intellectual horror. Andrew Pyper did a good job working Paradise Lost by Milton into this novel. It almost makes me want to read the full text of the poem - but not quite.

If you are looking for a gory horror story, look elsewhere. While this does have a few icky moments, most of it is psychological.

Even after finishing it, I'm still wondering...

Do you believe?

Book Rating
This novel allows Fitzgerald's lavish, lyrical writing style to shine. The characters are engaging and there's a hint of mystery about it all that is incredibly alluring. (0 more)
In my personal opinion, this novel is not Fitgerald's best. "Tender is the Night" or "The Beatiful and the Damned" or even his first "This Side of Paradise" were more complex and emotionally charged. Luckily for him, "not his best" is still a smash. (0 more)
