Andrew greer less is lost7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Of course, anything that can go wrong does-from falling out a window to having his favorite suit eaten by a stray dog, and as far as Less runs, he will not escape the fact that he really did lose the love of his life. ![]() ![]() So rather than stay in San Francisco and be humiliated when his younger man of nine years' standing marries someone else (he can’t bear to attend, nor can he bear to stay home), he puts together a patchwork busman’s holiday that will take him to Paris, Morocco, Berlin, Southern India, and Japan. When it comes to the literary canon, Arthur Less knows he is “as superfluous as the extra a in quaalude,” but he does get the odd invitation-to interview a more successful author, to receive an obscure prize, to tour French provincial libraries, that sort of thing. Facing his erstwhile boyfriend’s wedding to another man, his 50th birthday, and his publisher’s rejection of his latest manuscript, a miserable midlist novelist heads for the airport. ![]()

I would like to thank Flux and NetGalley for granting me a copy of this e-ARC to read in exchange for an honest review. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dreams can be very surreal and this film shows that effect. ![]() The fact that you are never quite sure what is going on is most likely part of the point. It had its moments of biting humor and it had the iconic scene where Johnny Depp as Glenn gets pulled into his bed and suddenly becomes a blood fountain. Yet, there was something about the film that spoke to me. The story was challenging to follow and, while that is not a bad thing, it did make me uncertain exactly what was happening. Some of the acting felt weaker and Freddy Krueger himself would see better days. This ballooned into a huge franchise with Freddy Krueger becoming one of horror’s greatest icons. Another film that I had never seen before, but had seen a few isolated scenes was Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. ![]() Anais nin venus7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The story delves into the concept of sexual awakening and the ability of literature to unleash one’s impulses.

(P) Jack and the Baked Beanstalk By Colin Stimpson (Fractured Fairytale) ![]() All you left me7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Steeltown Murders, which is written by a man (Ed Whitmore), and directed by one (Marc Evans), tells us nothing whatsoever that we do not know already, or cannot discover via the internet. I read that, for those who made it, sensitivity to survivors and to relatives of the victims of the rapist and murderer known as the Saturday Night Strangler was their priority and it seems perfectly… fine to me, by which I mean this is an averagely well-made and averagely well-performed drama.īut still, as I watched, I experienced a horrible combination of boredom and fury. The BBC’s Steeltown Murders isn’t, after all, half so gratuitous as some other true crime shows. I can’t predict when I will feel I’ve had enough.
