Better Than Friday - 307 (Patreon)

Good evening friends, the Mishima 'Sailor' review is in the can. Coming your way soon. Hope you're having a good one.

Sun Showers today. Lots of meteorological drama.

Have a great weekend and thanks so much for making this show possible.

1. A kind book gift from S.Cook: Bruges-La-Morte by Georges Rodenbach

What looks like a mournful, haunting, Symbolist novel that inspired the source material for Hitchcock's Vertigo.

*Disclaimer: Wakefield Press sends me free books for review

2. The Getting Lit Podcast - How to Read

Recently went on this podcast for a chat. Good guys. I recommend it.

3. Louisiana Channel Interview with Bret Easton Ellis

Ellis discusses his literary history and process.

4. Henry Miller Interview from 1956

Nice interview. I thought his comments about the loneliness of modern man (in Part 2) were compelling.

5. Jean Luc Godard's handstand walk, while smoking, for Brigitte Bardot

Impressive, no doubt.
