HAWAII (1966) Review - ***

What makes an epic? Is it length? On that count, Hawaii would qualify; the full roadshow version (which I watched on VHS – it’s not readily available) runs 189 minutes with overture, intermission, and exit music, and even the readily available version runs 160. Is it subject? Well, it deals with the colonization and Christianization of Hawaii in the 19th century and was based on James A.…

I was born to a woman I never knew and raised by another who took in orphans. I do not know my background, my lineage, my biological or cultural heritage. But when I meet someone new, I treat them with respect.... For after all, they could be my people.

The Hokusai Sketch-Books: Selections from the Manga

James A. Michener

Charles E. Tuttle 1958

This is a gem of a book. Written and edited by novelist James Michener, this is an absolutely lovely production of an important book. While this copy is a stated first edition, it is stamped as a review copy, and I think it was originally issued with a printed dust jacket. But the real joy of this book is Hokusai’s incredible work. With hundreds of images printed in three colors and organized by theme—people, fauna, flora, landscape, etc.—Hokusai’s brush breathes life into even the most mundane of scenes. And the images are of such finished quality and depth that calling them “sketchbooks” feels like a gross understatement.

After watching the miniseries Centennial and reading the book by the same name, I so wish that I could hogtie Frank Skimmerhorn, Clemma Zendt, Mervin, and Maude Wendell and toss them into the South Platte River. All four of them suck and they are my least favorite characters.

[Colazione da Truman][Lawrence Grobel]

A metà strada tra il gossip letterario e la riflessione culturale su un’epoca mitica, "Colazione da Truman" offre il ritratto del Novecento americano e dei suoi protagonisti, dalla viva voce di un testimone d’eccezione.

«Tutta la letteratura è pettegolezzo». Così Truman Capote, il maestro del new journalism, liquida con una delle sue abituali provocazioni antiletterarie qualsiasi visione sacrale dell’arte e dell’artista. È il Capote più irriverente quello che emerge dalle pagine di questo libro-intervista, in cui Lawrence Grobel ha raccolto due anni di incontri e conversazioni con l’autore di “A sangue freddo”.…
