Everyone’s on about the new John McEnroe doc, but JM: IN THE REALM OF PERFECTION (2018) is the true Citizen Kane of sports documentaries that frequently reference Cahiers du Cinema, Jean Luc Godard, and film theory generally. Soundtrack by Sonic Youth and Black Flag. 😀❤️ https://t.co/1FjsgENYJv

@SpencerPI Yes! (And about Edwin Torres of Carlito’s Way fame, I wrote an article on another of his novels from the 70s, Q&A, to which Torres wrote me an email. I was thrilled. Read only if inclined. I’m not foisting it, friend.) https://t.co/Y2qWPt8NoP

Enormously compelled by this 1928 memoir I hadn’t heard of. Anyone read THE OUTERMOST HOUSE, by all accounts a fantastic species of Cape Cod nature writing. @Pteratorn @Jimthomsen @SFWriter3 https://t.co/3xVKuTsQOn

Happily, Ashley Erwin’s (@littleblndninja) reading last night in Louisville was as much performative as it was literary. It’s important to know how to DELIVER a piece of writing, to transform the written to the aural. Her new book is Grit, Black, Blood, on @ShotgunHoney Books. https://t.co/mudGPlxRLg
