After Hours: Scorsese, Grief and the Grammar of Cinema (Auteur, 1):
"This book is such a treasure. I wasn't super familiar with the movie After Hours before reading this, but that wasn't necessary at all. Tanzer stitches together his reflections on the movie, and his own life, as well as the lives of those around him "

| Questionstruck is not just a loving, crazy, fragmented tribute to the work of the great Calvin Trillin, but a celebration of all things political, familial, edible, and textual, both dense and wonderful, and bordering on poetry. | |

Hey Ben, just wanted to stop by and wish you and yours a very Happy Holiday season! I'm just excited to have a long weekend to read and work on some of my end of year journaling. It's the little things :)
Thank you so much for adding me as your friend. Your books look very interesting and I completely agree...Frodo rocks!
Thanks for the add, Ben, and congrats on your own work.
