Bombay Talkies: An Unseen History of Indian Cinema
Debashree Mukherjee
Excellent. Even much before Jubilee, I've been fascinated by the story of Bombay Talkies—especially its pivotal transcontinental collaborations (ft. Franz Osten, Joseph Wirsching, Karl von Spreti, Len Hartley, etc)—and I'm looking forward to learn more from this book. https://t.co/pskl9mLlTR

Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch: Let Verbs Power Your Writing

The above passage comes from her remarkably insightful book, Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch – Let Verbs Power Your Writing. It's excellent; I can't recommend it enough. https://t.co/O0dy7Rxyw7

In Cold Blood
Truman Capote
lol, my latest fave is "nonfiction novel" while referring to narrative nonfiction. A lot of people saying that perhaps don't know they're quoting Truman Capote (who, drowning in overconfidence, called In Cold Blood that). Made sense because he made things up. https://t.co/dYz4Hjpj6X

H Is for Hawk
Helen MacDonald
@writerly_life The one I've in mind is not a book of essays but a memoir: H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. Cuts deep.

Nickel and Dimed
Barbara Ehrenreich
Rest in peace, Barbara Ehrenreich. Your life was marked by a stunning range of scholarship, but your 2001 trailblazing book, Nickel and Dimed, paved a new way to write and report on the working-class people. You've been an absolute legend and a huge inspiration. Thank you.
