Journey to Nowhere
The first part of the book examines Jonestown itself as it sat in the political climate of Guyana, including shifts in political power and colonial history as well as the poverty present there.
Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone
When you start reading this very thick book it becomes rapidly clear that Rolling Stone threw Thompson at anything and everything in the hopes that his style would turn whatever reportage he gave them into an instant hit.
Naked City
I think I love Weegee because he is a chronicler of daily life in days gone by. He doesn’t shy away from the ugly parts, but he doesn’t deny the beauty of the ordinary moments that we all take for granted.
Hidden Haunts
With ghostly themed tourism being so immensely popular, this is the perfect companion if you’re hankering for that road trip to end the summer.
Weight of the Earth
In these tapes, Wojnarowicz discusses a vast variety of topics but mostly settles on art, dreams, and death as he processes his HIV diagnosis and impending end of life.
Lulu in Hollywood
One of the things I need more of in this time of much overtime? I need more films — even if I don’t have the time for them.
Motel Chronicles
I was drawn to playwright Sam Shepard’s Motel Chronicles because I have a love of photos and descriptions of old motels.
Suzanne and Louise
Guibert’s aunts were a major part of his life and offer him comfort that his parents cannot when he gets sick. In them, he can see his own end of life.

Literary criticism is a bit off of the beaten path of what I normally review, but when I find a volume that really complements my reading, then I make an exception.
