New Stuff: Jonathan Lethem
Jonathan Lethem's newest book is an extensive collection of his nonfictional work.
First Lines: Bob Dylan - Chronicles Volume One
Lou Levy, top man of Leeds Music Publishing company, took me up in a taxi to the Pythian Temple on West 70th Street to show me the pocket sized recording studio where Bill Haley and His Comets had recorded "Rock around the Clock" - then down to Jack Dempsey's restaurant on 58th and Broadway, where we sat down in a red leather upholstered booth facing the front window.
Alien Raiders (2008)
A small town supermarket serves as the setting for this suspenseful sci-fi thriller about a malevolent alien seeking to take over the human race.
Standard alien invasion horror with an unusual plot.
Moby Dick (2010) (TV)
TV adaptation as a mini series of Herman Melville's classic novel.
Not too spectacular and not well cast adaptation, but fairly loyal to the book.
