Bob Dylan Too Much of Nothing
Derek Barker
Delighted to see #TooMuchofNothing, my first novel, resurrected at the new http://PalomaMedia.com for "Ghost Week." It's a sure-enough ghost story set in Southern California, with a title cribbed from a Bob Dylan song. https://www.palomamedia.com/post/michael-scott-moore-too-much-of-nothing

The Red Devil Battery Sign: Play
Tennessee Williams
Not all of John Huston's decisions in Mexico still work; but you can't argue with Ava Gardner, and the original play by Tennessee Williams has always been a work of genius https://t.co/SCn4g5rQ3e

Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay
Annie Proulx
@OaklandEyrie @sundancefest @SFFILM Maybe a New Yorker shouldn't make a film about the South, since the Union won the war? Or Annie Proulx should not have written "Brokeback Mountain," since she's not a gay man.

The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
Andrew Solomon
Andrew Solomon's piece on having passages from his books elided in China, and whole books blacklisted in Texas — because of his homosexuality — is very good. So is *The Noonday Demon* as a whole. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/23/books/review/far-from-the-tree-matt-krause-texas-book-blacklist-ban.html

Every Man Dies Alone
Hans Fallada
@idahobuzzy @petipaw I have not read the Feuchtwanger, but @MelvilleHouse's revival of the Hans Fallada novel EVERY MAN DIES ALONE should hit the spot.

The Innocent
Ian McEwan
@doberah @KatyDerbyshire *The Innocent* by Ian McEwan isn't sweet at heart but it has a positive twist, which is to say it ends not half as grimly as it could.

Political Fictions
Joan Didion
RIP St. Joan. I was just reading a piece of hers on the Reagan years — which could have been titled, like a later book, “Political Fictions” — & marveling at how little has changed in the emotional currents of American politics. Yet everyone acts so original. #Didion https://t.co/HwECzbFMnH
