Key Largo<\/strong> (1948).<\/em><\/p>\n

In the last week or two, my new book The Rhapsodes<\/em> has been lucky enough to attract attention. There are now four\u00a0reviews: one by Geoffrey O’Brien in the print edition<\/a> of Artforum<\/em>; another by Nick Pinkerton in the print edition<\/a> of Sight & Sound<\/em>; one online<\/a> by Michael Philips of the Chicago Tribune<\/em>; and one online by David Hudson<\/a>, head wrangler at Fandor. All were more generous than they needed to be, although how could I lose by quoting Ferguson, Agee, Farber, and Tyler? These guys carried me. There are some quotes from the reviews at the University of Chicago Press site.<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, the Library of America has run a Q & A<\/a> with me about the relevance of my four critics to movie criticism today. Thanks to Jeff Tompkins for handling this.<\/p>\n

Coming up, here in NYC:<\/p>\n

*An evening of discussion and book-signing at Videology<\/a> at 7 PM on 9 June!<\/p>\n

*Screenings of four films related to the book at the American Museum of the Moving Image<\/a>, 25-26 June!<\/p>\n

Thanks to Erik Luers of Videology and David Schwartz of MoMI for arranging these events. If you’re in the neighborhood, why not drop by?<\/p>\n

P. S. 6 May:<\/strong> Thanks to Fiona Pleasance for updating my S & S<\/em> link.<\/p>\n
