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.What if Oscar Wilde's "Picture of Dorian Gray" took place in the 1980s art scene?

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.

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.A bleak portrayal of Truman Capote's literary involvement in the Clutter killing aftermath in western Kansas.

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.Wow, I wasn't really expecting a beautifully-written, wonderfully descriptive and eerily visceral novel about grief and loss and finding oneself again.

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.

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.

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.
