Caviglia's Cabinet of Curiosities: Mary Harron and American Psycho
http://cavigliascabinetofcuriosities.blogspot.com/2010/07/mary-harron-and-american-psycho.html
Friday, July 2, 2010. Mary Harron and American Psycho. Has directed three feature films in the past fifteen years or so: two were overtly feminist biopics of culturally relevant outsiders, the third was an adaptation of a novel about a (possibly) serial killing, rich, misogynistic (and fictional) investment banker. The adaptation of the novel was the only really successful film of the three, I think. I found her two biopics, I Shot Andy Warhol. And The Notorious Bettie Page. Is really lovely in it. I...

Caviglia's Cabinet of Curiosities: Game of Thrones: Being A Princess Is A Rough Gig
http://cavigliascabinetofcuriosities.blogspot.com/2014/04/game-of-thrones-being-princess-is-rough.html
Sunday, April 6, 2014. Game of Thrones: Being A Princess Is A Rough Gig. As I've said before, Game of Thrones* is pretty much the damndest show. It indulges in soft porn exploitation along side some of the most interesting and well drawn female characters on television. Its racial politics. Are, to say the least, problematic. The dragons are a delight. All the business up at the GoT version of Hadrian's Wall (as well as, as Lindy West put it. Labels: game of thrones. April 7, 2014 at 12:22 PM. I am a wri...

I write novels. That ain't all. October 27, 2013. Lately I’ve been obsessed with the sky photography of experimental geographer and scholar of classified satellites, Trevor Paglen. Paglen documents stealth military installations, a dark world of covert domes and fortified fences he shoots from great distances, often with cameras meant for astronomy. He does gorgeous work and is clearly smart as hell. According to San Diego astronomer Dennis Mammana. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Excerpt: AH HER...

I write novels. That ain't all. Excerpt: AH HERE WE GO — Parachute. Louris Canyon →. Excerpt: AH HERE WE GO — Not-So-Sweet Jane. November 1, 2012. The hate of Jane. Somehow she hated me, learned to rue me, despise me, hone her hate like a Nantucket crone her scrimshaw. I loved her and told her things, what she wanted to hear and probably things she didn’t. I was direct and honest about certain realities, things big and little that I saw and read about in the world. I wasn’t in college like Jane&#...What ...

I write novels. That ain't all. June 27, 2014. Walking in NY, there’s a pilgrimage spot, a place I need to be. Long gone to me, decades since I popped in after a lit-agent lunch. When I surprised someone. In the middle of work, in crew-neck sweater fresh from the drafting table. Uninvited, I showed up. I was tacky and unkind. For years I never saw, never spoke, had nothing to do with him. I did remember, always, lots of that. His happiness, their happiness, made me happy. Not my ruin. Yet I always st...

I write novels. That ain't all. Tag Archives: Los Angeles. March 12, 2013. For a period of about six months, from mid-summer to Christmas, I spent time in LA. Quite a lot of it, more than my usual quickie trek to see a show and then head home. It was lovely, much of it, in some massively appealing and magnetic ways. And then it wasn’t. Which is all well and fine and good. Nathanael West of course. I am glad that I was there. The music factor was unique, and that is what I want to write about now. There t...
