Reading Matter
by Parry Gettelman 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

I used to have Mojo in the bathroom but I can't afford it anymore..... And I never get through all the Time Out New Yorks in there as it is. (I like torturing myself with all the listings of shows I'm missing.) I'm partway through John Kruth's Rahsaan Roland Kirk book, which has lots of interesting interviews with musicians but might have been organized better. I just started Mahfouz's "Palace Walk," loved "The Beginning and the End" which I picked up after someone here recommended "Akhenaten," which the library didn't have. My thanks to whoever mentioned Mahfouz in the first place, his characters are so real and engrossing. I'm hoping the library will get the reissue of "Terrible Thunder," a book on the Howard Johnson fire/shootout here in New Orleans a couple decades ago. A friend said it's the first book he ever read in one sitting -- of course, he does know some of the folks who were involved, but I understand it is a pretty interesting look at the racial and social politics of the time as well as a gripping account of events.

Re: overdue DVD reissues

A previous posted mentioned that these were released on Ruscico. I've never seen these in the US, and the last I heard was that Criterion and Ruscico were fighting over who owned the rights to these movies. There is a Tarkovsky fan site that I would look up for you if I had a faster connection (www.skywalking.com/....) that should have more information. "Ivan's Childhood (aka My Name is Ivan)" has been listed as coming soon from Criterion for a very long time now. >From: pm.carey(a)utoronto.ca (Patrick Carey) >To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: overdue DVD reissues >Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 15:37:05 +0100 > > >"Solaris" & "Stalker" (Tarkovsky) > >Quite positive these two are out...

My list is quite pedestrian compared to the high brow stuff most of this list seems to read. Do you guys take Derrida and Pynchon to the bathroom? Just finished Jonathon Franzen's "The Corrections" which almost lived up to the hype and was excellent. My nightstand has well worn copies of Ron Carlson's short story collection "At The Jim Bridger" and John Dufresne's yet-to-be-published "The Lie That Tells the Truth." I'm nearly finished with both. My bookshelf's on deck circle is crammed with Kat Meads's latest short story collection, Frank McCourt's "Tis," a Howard Gardner book on Multiple Intelligences, Knut Hamsun's "Mysteries," Heinrich Boll's "Adam and the Train," Brian Boyd's two-volume Nabokov biography, Bill Bryson's "Notes From A Small Island," Dickens's "David Copperfield" (how I earned two English degrees without reading it is a mystery), the complete works of Isaac Babel, Thomas Mann's "Doctor Faustus," Stephen Jay Gould's "Dinosaur in a Haystack," Brian Green's "The Elegant Universe," David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest (thanks to recommendations from this list!) and Paul Davies's "About Time." That should keep me busy well through Christmas 2004. Should be reading instead of writing, Tom

Sue Mingus book

> >From: "Michael Berman" <mberman(a)his.com> > >Has anyone read the new Sue Mingus book? The critics seem to have = >thought it too much about her and not enough Mingus, though how could it = >be otherwise? I am about 150 pages into it. It is very good, well written. The critics are right that it is a lot about her, but it is very fascinating to hear about their relationship, how it happened over the years. There are a lot of great stories about Mingus in here too and the bold comments he made about other musicians and all kinds of things. Well worth getting. John
