Just watched Uchida’s A Fugitive from the Past (aka Straits of Hunger, 1964). Dreiser-esque in its themes and emotions, amazing to look at, and a lead performance by Rentaro Mikuni that’s 🌋

However bad you thought the new regime at CBS would be, it’ll be ten times as bad and a hundred times more stupid. That’s what Bari Weiss brings to the table.

OK OK I know we all hate the corporatization of philanthropy etc. etc. but I can't help but to remind everyone this #givingtuesday that you can donate $$ to your favorite University Presses just as you can with any other nonprofit. So consider showing your local UP some love?

My book about how Americans have remembered, forgotten, and manipulated the history of George Washington and slavery over the past 250 years comes out in April. And Titus Kaphar’s art makes it the one of the coolest covers you’ll see next year. uncpress.org/978146969352...

Favorite musical performance in a #FilmNoir ~ IDA LUPINO has a very unique style playing piano and singing One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) in ROAD HOUSE (1948)

After Ida sings, Celeste Holm says
"She does more without a voice than anybody I've ever heard"

The best look at the Nuzzi book so far, and I doubt it will be equaled by anyone. Essential reading.
