"2.5 stars.
This was ... weird. A very male-gazey imagining of a single woman at home. Within five pages, I was pretty sure this was written by a man. It was interesting? But also, I think if a woman had written it, it would have been so much more nua" Read more of this review » |

| One explanation for why She and Her Cat doesn't really work seems to be in the adaptation history. This graphic novel was based on a five-minute short film, the first thing that Makato Shinkai made. It's on YouTube, so I went and watched it. It's cle ...more | |

| A bewildering number of "outsider artists" had their work discovered in ways that seem to defy even the rosiest view of serendipity. It was taken from their last apartment when they had to go into a home (Henry Darger), or randomly taken to a museum ...more | |

An interesting look at a fascinating figure, a man whose holiday-themed yard shows became central events in his neighborhood. Many of the difficulties with the book are unavoidable. The author only knew Morales for the last couple years of his life, s ...more |

Really a 4.5/5. No one writes like John McPhee, who intertwines beautiful descriptions of the natural world with incisive portraits of the people he encounters in his travels. Encounters with the Archdruid follows the legendary and incendiary conserva ...more |

It was fun and breezy as far as it went. I think I finished it in 20 minutes. I'd already seen a few of these in Anguished English way back in the day. But it wasn't a bad way to spend a few minutes. ...more |

| This is a hard one to evaluate for me. It's billed as a "field guide," but it's difficult for me to imagine planning a trip using a book with almost no maps and only a small selection of food/lodging options listed. It's more of an olio of interestin ...more | |

“The first day after a death, the new absence
Is always the same; we should be careful
Of each other, we should be kind

“This is what I mean when I say I would like to swim against the stream of time: I would like to erase the consequences of certain events and restore an initial condition. But every moment of my life brings with it an accumulation of new facts, and each of these new facts bring with it consequences; so the more I seek to return to the zero moment from which I set out, the further I move away from it. . . .”
