Today I finished reading the above book by Charles Bukowski. Though long, it is a terrific book, and I am increasingly considering him my favorite writer. There are some hilarious and harrowing depictions of poverty in the book, such as not having toilet paper, and trying to hide empties. He also has a very firm, identifiable tone of voice which I love. Recommended!

Pearl
This week I also watched Pearl, which is the prequel to the film X. The movie centers on a very special woman who dreams of being a star, but who has homicidal tendencies. I especially liked the opening scenes, which had a certain technocolor vibrancy, but the whole thing is terrific. Recommended!
Hereditary and Midsomer
This week I watched two recent films by writer/direector Ari Aster: Hereditary and Midsomer. They both deal with rites and rituals, and the first is an outright horror movie. Both are very interesting, and absorb you into their worlds. Check them out!
