Roxane Gay: Hunger – A Memoir of (My) Body

Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body Roxane Gay Harper Roxane Gay is a very good writer – and across so many disciplines.

Sometimes she blends memoir with fiction, the essay form being creatively […]

The Hunting Ground: DVD

The Hunting Ground Director: Kirby Dick The Campus Project, LLC./Madman It’s one of those movie you recommend only because the story/back-story is important – it’s not, as such ‘good’; that’s the wrong word.

The Vinyl Countdown # 967

Bill Cosby, The Best of Bill Cosby (1969) I used to have Bill Cosby’s debut comedy album, Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow…Right! (I used to think Bill Cosby was a very funny fellow). Now it’s a bit tough to decide. I talked a bit about the Bill Cosby thing here. But I’d recommend anyone […]
