New reading

Artist and critic James Rosenthal was a big hit with the Criticism Seminar students last summer. You will be glad to know he's started a blog of his own, Pocket Intellectual. You can check it out and post your comments. I don't think I'm letting anything out of the bag by saying James will be back next summer to work with the thesis year students, so read up. At least one teacher can be figured out...

in response to your response to a blog by James R:

Henry Fool is among my favorites! It resonates at many levels of process and persona. I hear Hartley is coming out with a sequal based on Simon Grim's sister (played by Parker Posey). Anyone hear word on its eta?

Horse's Mouth is a hoot, and the book is even hootier. One of the great opening paragraphs full of visual info, as if looking at a painting.

another movie missed, and in the line of Scorcese's shorts (Nick Nolte made a great AbEx man)was Dreams, by Kurasawa, which feature a japanese painter who had a passion for Van Gogh and actually walked into his landscapes. Scorcese played a torqued soul of Vincent in a cameo.
