A fun and smoothly-written sequel to Who Is Vera Kelly? Vera herself is a dazzlingly relatable hero, someone you just love hanging out with over a drink, and she travels to the Dominican Republic to reunite a missing boy with his parents.

Dorian, BookAn Imitation

by Self, Will
Book, 2002. Language: English
JCLMattC's rating:
Added Feb 10, 2021

Comment:

What if Oscar Wilde's "Picture of Dorian Gray" took place in the 1980s art scene? It's a video installation instead of a painting in which beautiful Dorian invests his soul, and we see him, decadent and unchanging, through the eyes of those unfortunate enough to know him.

The Savage Detectives, Book

by Bolaño, Roberto
Book, 2008. Language: English
JCLMattC's rating:
Added Oct 10, 2020

Comment:

My second read from this author. My favorite part was the gang of poets crammed into the Impala, speeding away for their lives from Mexico City, into the Sonoran Desert, and as they drive they're quizzing each other on stanzas and poetic devices.

Capote, DVD

DVD, 2006. Language: English
JCLMattC's rating:
Added Jun 24, 2020

Comment:

A bleak portrayal of Truman Capote's literary involvement in the Clutter killing aftermath in western Kansas. It's a little quiet, a little dry, but electrified by Philip Seymour Hoffman's outstanding performance. Way beyond just a Truman Capote impersonation.

The Third Hotel, Book

by Van den Berg, Laura
Book, 2018. Language: English
JCLMattC's rating:
Added Jun 24, 2020

Comment:

Wow, I wasn't really expecting a beautifully-written, wonderfully descriptive and eerily visceral novel about grief and loss and finding oneself again. I was more expecting something out of the Twilight Zone, though at times the book did sort of feel like that.

A Gentleman in Moscow, Book

by Towles, Amor
Book, 2016. Language: English
JCLMattC's rating:
Added Jun 15, 2020

Comment:

A great book about a man placed under house-arrest at a fancy hotel. It was a bit of a slow go for me, but I adored the unflappable count and how stalwart and unflinching he remained throughout the book despite his hardships.

The Vegetarian, BookA Novel

by Han, Kang
Book, 2015. Language: English
JCLMattC's rating:
Added Apr 16, 2020

Comment:

I listened to the audiobook, which was pretty well done. A sort of three-section literary exploration of slow-burn body horror. Of course there's much more to it than that.

Children of Men, DVD

DVD, 2007. Language: English
JCLMattC's rating:
Added Apr 09, 2020

Comment:

This was a bleak depiction of the future injected with an undercurrent of hope. I quite enjoyed the performances and the long, steady shots of the action. Very brutal but very decent film.
