It gives life to this rather harrowing story of random and brutal violence, bringing humanity to what often just becomes statistics of cruelty.

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.
Lives of the Saints
If you think of the themes of a novel like a complex spiderweb, most of the time an overzealous use of repetition is akin to the author shoving the reader into the centre of it.
Cool For You
While their stories are funny tales of minimum-wage teenage drudgery, they are also stories of chafing at the world one inherits from their parents.
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.
Motion Sickness
Like the narrator, the novel wanders between past and present and often between locations themselves.
Motel Chronicles
I was drawn to playwright Sam Shepard’s Motel Chronicles because I have a love of photos and descriptions of old motels.
