Happy Birthday, Satyajit Ray!

Paul Auster had a most striking face & how ironic that according to his poignant memoir “The Invention of Solitude,” his father avoided him not only emotionally but literally, did not look at him (for some mysterious reason). Paul himself, warmly sympathetic, gregarious.

Man, talking with my buddy Robert Lawson bout Disciple and all things Stevie was so much fun - i am looking forward to reading his book on 🕉🇺🇦🟦Stevie Van Zandt☮️💙 more than any other this year! #SolidarityForever and while we’re at it #DontTryToStopMeTillTheGoodIsGone

My kind of shower.

Dans un mail, Nick Tosches m'écrivait ❝New York n'appartient pas uniquement à Auster. Il y a d'autres cow-boys, mais il a une gâchette formidable.❞

This has to be good, right?

SAD FAREWELL - Duane Eddy
Back in the late 50s and early 60s, Duane rocked that guitar with songs like Rebel Rouser, Forty Miles of Bad Road, Because They're Young, and, of course, the Peter Gunn theme. Mr. Eddy has died at the age of 86. RIP

Found this Stage Makeup book a while ago. The racial makeup chart might be a little problematic these days but I do love the jovial woman.

Paul Auster 🖤
1947 - 2024

✨Kerry Condon's Closet Picks!✨ The acclaimed actor shares how DOGFIGHT profoundly affected her views of acting & love, praises the way David Gordon Green conjures the feeling of youth in GEORGE WASHINGTON, & selects favorites from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS to THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER.

R.I.P. Paul Auster. Here’s his unapologetic advice to young writers. Read ‘The New York Trilogy.’ Read ‘Leviathan.’ Read ‘Travels in the Scriptorium.’

I wrote this freelance review of #Breathless in 1972 and sent it to Andrew Sarris of The Village Voice, who, surprisingly, printed it. I thought you who follow some of my reviews might be interested. Next up will be something I wrote about Bertolucci’s “The Last Emperor.”

RIP Paul Auster.
A post modern literary icon for me.

When he was a teenager at a summer camp, he stood next to a boy who was killed by a bolt of lightning. He once reflected, “I think maybe that informs my work more than any book I have ever read.”
