demi moore's memoir INSIDE OUT is great for so many reasons but one thing that really struck me is how candid she is about how directors spoke to her and how it fueled her eating disorder.

the best new book i read in 2022 was Tell Me I’m Worthless by the brilliant @hangsawoman https://t.co/TwfCNJIeFl

FAIRYLAND: it’s hard to pack so much life into a relatively short film runtime, but andrew durham does the best he can adapting alysia abbott’s book about her life with her father. really lovely, heartfelt work from scoot mcnairy. #sundance

in the next room (or the vibrator play) by sarah ruhl intimate apparel by lynn nottage the bell jar by sylvia plath there’s also this less-known YA book called BREATHE MY NAME that I think would make a great movie (also would kind of love an adaptation of MEDEA) https://t.co/dFj5KzkDjh

read walker percy’s the moviegoer. ernest j gaines’s the autobiography of miss jane pittman. I didn’t like kate chopin’s the awakening when i read it in high school, but I think it’s important within the context of early feminist lit. may reread.
