Michael Schulman Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Michael Schulman

A gem of a book. It's about grief and arts and the particulars of this really weird, unique job of having to stand in a gallery for hours and hours, surrounded by the world's great masterpieces.

Presenting...the cover of my new book! OSCAR WARS comes out in February from @harperbooks and is available for preorder now (https://t.co/rsktjh1xN5). The book tells a history of Hollywood in eleven acts, featuring all the people below. Can you name 'em all? https://t.co/wEMoZydMII

Rob Roth, who directed “Lestat” on Broadway (!), spent 13 years pursuing and editing the transcripts and is publishing the play as a book. He was there to tell stories about digging through highly restricted archives —> also deeply my shit.

How sad to read that Christopher Durang has aphasia. Few playwrights had such a nimble way with the absurd. He was one of my favorites growing up—I can remember seeing "Betty's Summer Vacation" at @phnyc like it was yesterday. https://t.co/rxvJTqPukB

What does "The Whale" say about fatness, and how should we feel about Brendan Fraser wearing a fat suit? In my new column, I wrestled through these questions with the help of its writer, Samuel D. Hunter, and insights from @yrfatfriend and @guybranum. https://t.co/STykX5joza

My brilliant friend Mike Albo wrote a gay teen sci-fi novel that comes out tomorrow. Honestly, what news could be better? https://t.co/SHaAcfJZQX

There are a few tix left for my New Yorker Festival event this Friday with Billy Eichner and Harvey Fierstein. I'm excited to talk to them about "Bros," "Torch Song Trilogy," and being conspicuously gay in pop culture 40 years apart. https://t.co/Sp14O4dXF1

The New Yorker has an exclusive extra from "Asteroid City," showing the missing Bill Murray character hosting a fake retro trailer. I spoke to Wes Anderson about how it came to be. Watch here. https://t.co/xNDIbl70N5

I am loving "Fleishman Is in Trouble" (as I did the book)—especially as a "Kramer vs. Kramer" devotee. Thank you @taffyakner for giving us the nebbishy Upper East Side divorced dad with a mercurial blond ex that our generation deserves.

Excited for this virtual discussion with Derek DelGaudio on Wednesday night, courtesy of the Strand. I wrote about his fascinating book "Amoralman" here: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/persons-of-interest/the-magician-who-used-his-skills-to-cheat-at-cards https://twitter.com/strandbookstore/status/1488211238601596928
