I can definitely be petty, but that's not why I keep the list. It's a reminder to me of how easily a door that I wanted to go through could have stayed closed. I didn't get to write the book because of fate, or because I'm just so great that I couldn't be refused. Most people said no. Ann said yes.

Or nuclear bombs. What if they had thrown nuclear bombs.
We're going to hear from bigger writers, better writers, and writers who worked more closely with her, and I will read every one of their stories. I'm so grateful to have been a small part of her big world.

Ann made me feel not only that she was excited about my idea, but that she believed I could aim even higher, go deeper, think bigger. She was warm, sharp, encouraging and exacting--a combination that writers dream of finding. Her faith is something I will continue to try to repay with my work. >
If you think that someone else would have published Pictures at a Revolution, let me assure you that I have kept the list of 14 publishers that rejected the proposal outright. Ann and the team she assembled, led by the brilliant Scott Moyers, was the only one that wanted to meet with me. >
To those of you who have read and enjoyed any of my three books, the reason they wound up in your hands is that in 2004, Ann Godoff, the editing and publishing giant who founded Penguin Press, took a chance on me. She died yesterday at 76. I owe her more than I can say. She changed my life. >
It's been more than 20 years since Tony wrote Munich. Watching the film get written, shot, and released was an extraordinary experience, and I don't think anyone has talked to Tony about it with more thoroughness and insight than Corey has here.
It's been a delight not knowing you.
This is basically the good teacher coming in with a grin and saying, "Okay, everybody back to class" after the bad teacher (Tisch) shrieks, "I'm putting you all on double detention!" The quote-posts saying "He's capitulating to fascism!"...some of you really need to adjust your dials.
Can't wait to hear a snowball fight described as an urban socialist hellscape of terrifying lawlessness and menace in the fourth hour of the State of the Union tonight.
I think the movie is fascinating AND I totally get not liking it.
This is the sequel to Pictures at a Revolution that was most often suggested to me, and I just couldn't find an approach that didn't feel like I was doing the same thing twice.
What possible fifth Best Picture nominee could round out that perfect lineup? A Woman Under the Influence? Day for Night? Young Frankenstein? Well...uh....
I had a great time writing the essay for this May Criterion release of a film that was a huge deal in 1974. Today it's less known than its Best Pic Oscar competition (Godfather II! The Conversation! Chinatown! What a year!) but is well worth a revisit or first look. www.criterion.com/films/29151-...
What is the actual complaint here? That the videos are "snappy"? That there are too many of them? That he wore the wrong kind of jacket? That government agencies have emblems? That he's too on top of things? That he got the job--ah, yes, that's the one.
The tone of contempt here, in a news update, is disgraceful. "How dare Mamdani and his team...uh...wear those clothes and use social media to try to prevent bad things from happening when...um...bad things could still happen in a situation like this!" GTFO.
BTW Tourette's is a neurological and motor disorder. Not the same thing.
It's disappointing to see how quickly a lot of people here have pivoted to, "Well, if you have THAT kind of mental illness, do the proper thing and never go out." The movie I SWEAR, about John Davidson's life, opens in the U.S. in April, and it probably can't get here soon enough.
No, I'm sorry, we are not "still on for today," and no, I cannot do a zoom because, uh, the snow broke my zoomer. Best of luck to you and let's circle back in April.
