Thank you to @nytimes.com for including our 2014 interview with Gene Hackman in this incredibly sad, evolving story. “'If in fact I have a style, it came from repeated edits, friends’ suggestions and my wife’s unwavering, specific read-throughs,' he told the 'Writer’s Bone' podcast in 2014."

It's a classic false spring day here & that's got me wondering about "false spring" books, books that, don't necessarily have a plot twist, but misdirect you as to the ultimate nature. Books like Master & Margarita or (I'd argue at least) Underground Railroad. Can you think of any?

The bitterly funny ‘Mickey 17,’ which premiered today at the Berlin Film Festival, is the first film from Bong Joon-ho to feel explicitly about America, even as it takes place in outer space. Our review.

Was asked in an interview today whether fiction still matters. Answer? It matters more than ever — and not as escapism (though there is that), but because we know it makes us more empathetic, more tolerant, and more capable of seeing someone else’s perspective.
