How the Dead Live17 reviews
Will Self

Grove Press, 2001

interesting viewpoint

Blurb (or foreword, I can't exactly remember) of this book, presents it as a satire...In a certain way, it is right. But, in some other way it lacks few imortant imformation. When one think of a satire, one think at instant of political attacks towards rulling caste, towards media, and towards ...
  
  











  



  
Cole Porter: Selected Lyrics (American Poets Project)1 review
Cole Porter

Library of America, 2006

Pass Another Helping of Porter, Please!

As a child and beyond, I soaked up pop song lyrics that have remained cruelly fixed in memory and apparently ineradicable. Too often (and mysteriously) some snatch of what is most often retro and regrettable will surface. This can be highly annoying, as will be clear to those who've heard one of ...
  
  











  



  
Dead Clowns11 reviews
Lucien Eisenach, Kimberly Lynn Cole

Lions Gate, 2007

What category is below B-movies?

This was just not good. In the world of straight-to-DVD movies, this is one of the worst I've ever seen. There is minimal dialogue; which is probably a good thing because the actors didn't do too well with the simple lines that they had. The costumes might have been good, but the lighting was so ...

Tokyo Story: The Ozu/Noda Screenplay

Stone Bridge Press, 2003

Yasujiro Ozu's 1953 Tokyo Story is regularly rated among the top films ever made and will soon be reissued on DVD. Ozu and cowriter Kogo Noda viewed the script as literature; once completed, it was little changed during filming. Here is a translation of the Japanese screenplay to Tokyo Story , with critical observations by Donald Richie on Ozu's filmmaking, a filmography, and twenty stills. ...
  
  











  



  
The Big Bow Mystery3 reviews
Israel Zangwill

Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007

Historically significant and a great read

The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...
  
  











  



  
The Devil's Whisper2 reviews
Miyuki Miyabe

Kodansha International, 2007

Part mystery, part SF, part social commentary

+ An Emotionally Engaging Thriller

The Devil's Whisper is one of the earliest published works of Miyabe's, and arguably her first popular hit in Japan. In many ways this is a fairly representative work of hers--it has the classic Miyabe formula of a scattered collection of mysterious clues faithfully collected, assembled, and ...

Sensei is brilliant.

+ Recommended

I read this book before I enrolled in any classes with Dr. Rogers, before I ever moved to Hilo, Hawai'i to persue a Japanese Studies major. My opinion may still be biased, but I was highly enamoured from the very beginning, before even meeting or talking to him. I really love the selection of ...
