Movie: Lizzie, about Lizzie Borden. With Chloe Sevigney and Kristen Stewart

I wasn't feeling great today, so I watched Lizzie, a movie I've wanted to see for awhile, on HBO Max. It's not supposed to be nonfiction, but it sticks close to the facts--except that it combines Uncle John with the town constable. This is unfair. The real Constable/Sheriff did a great job, actually, while the real Uncle John was indeed a shady character. As shady as he is in the movie, I don't kn

Difficult book to like, but the premise is intriguing: an author emails a chapter at a time to a beta-reader, who emails her his comments back. She’s in Australia, he’s in America, and we get to read her first draft and his comments, and the fallout ...more

Very good entry in the series, second-best in my view, though I haven’t read them all. Oddly told, as the narration keeps its light fluency, yet the story is serious, the characters are likable (even the bad ones) and the ending is lightly-told downe ...more

Best of the Argyll series so far, though I haven’t read all of them, and the ones I have, out of order. This one has a Knives Out tone, though those of course came much later than this. A flippant tale of the crazy rich, with the hapless art procurer ...more

Good book, not great. This series doesn't compare to Fingerpost. But good flow created by differing third person accounts. 2025 edit: Read a second time, a little more appreciated. Still a minor work and not comparable to Fingerpost, but there’s a bre ...more

Very good, quick read, by the author of An Instrance of the Fingerpost, which will always be his masterpiece. Pears will always have that line on the cover of all of his books, as he does on this one. I didn’t think to see which of the other books I’d ...more

Not too much to say about this one, oddly appropriate, as the novel doesn’t end up saying or doing much, either. I grabbed this trilogy because Stephen King liked the author so much, and published a story in a collection Grant edited. I kept waiting f ...more

Hey Steven,

Been awhile since we exchanged blog comments, but I wanted to invite you to a really neat website I've come across: authorsunleashed.com

Since you are a pretty serious writer I thought you might be intersted. For practice or fun or whatever. Hope to see you there :-)
