The Innocent Man- Season One
The Innocent Man- Season One
2018 | Crime, Documentary
I remember when the book, 'The Innocent Man' came out, and how it was a BFD that John Grisham had written a non-fiction book. If it had been written as fiction, you wouldn't be able to believe it.
The docu-series covers two cases in which it seems that the wrong people were convicted off of bunk evidence and false confessions. It was well put together, for the most part, but it does skip around, so if you're not paying close enough attention, it can get confusing. It was very easy to watch all of the episodes back to back.

I have a feeling that there may be a 2nd season, since one of the cases is still ongoing.

This is a short story that was published in the New Yorker. The tale is strange and intriguing and fits perfectly into Ishiguro’s style. I listened to this story on the New Yorker’s fiction podcast which I would highly recommend as the reader spends time discussing the story as well as giving a reading. I really enjoyed this story and would definitely recommend it.This is a short story that was published in the New Yorker. The tale is strange and intriguing and fits perfectly into Ishiguro’s style.

not enough for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book

Ten maids to Master Marius tell their story, identified only by the job and the colour of their underwear.

This was an easy read, erotic flash fiction, 49 pages. It didn't do very much for me, though, and I found 9 stories almost identical. The tenth is different in the the Maid is in control, rather than Marius but there was still the reference to her colour underwear, and what she felt about the other maids.

It was reasonably well written, and delivers what it claims to be: short erotic fiction.

It just wasn't ENOUGH for me, but I did finish it.

"I would say Pulp Fiction, for sure. When you are a teenager, I would say, “What the hell is going on? If making movies looks like this, OK, I want to be a director.” Everything was kind of perfect; there was the humor. That’s why I was not just honored and happy to work with [Quentin Tarantino], but crazy happy. [laughs] When he told me he was doing the movie, I was dancing in the streets in Paris for hours. I had a sense of joy, for sure. So I would say Pulp Fiction, for everything we just love in that movie, like the dialogue, the shots, the lights, the actors, the craziness, the freedom of making something so freeing."
