I don't know comics, but those look like amazing finds.

I picked up a second biography on the unparalleled Tom Waits at my favorite rare book shop. From my research it appears I've secured the two best titles examining one of the most cryptic and mythic figures in rock history. These titles are Innocent When You Dream: The Tom Waits Reader by Mac Montandon and Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits by Barney Hoskyns.

I'd previously walked into a tiny, overstuffed used bookshop just outside of NYC some years ago where I found Lowside as well as a biography on Sun Ra and one on Captain Beefheart, and I regret not grabbing all three, but money was tight at the time. Perhaps I'll reclaim them one day.

Innocent When You Dream is a collection of interviews, album reviews, and conversations with people like Elvis Costello and Roberto Benigni. I'm really looking forward to exploring it.

adidasss' post from a while ago reminded me that I wanted to read The Satanic Verses so I finallly did. Brilliant book, so intricately structured and layered, like the facets of a gem. Haven't been this impressed with a book in a while

Mucha do you know this one? A really compelling memoir by a Polish poet and intellectual who survived Soviet prisons

I've heard of it, but I haven't read it.

Do you recommend it?

Lovely essay on Egoyan's Exotica:

Quote:
From the onset cultural hybridity is the landscape of this film. The signs of border crossing and cultural mixing are everywhere. Right away it is obvious that we are not in the good old U.S. of A. Strip joints in this country do not play Middle Eastern music, no matter who owns them. The culture we watch on Egoyan’s screen, where difference is tolerated and border crossing more a norm than a contrived spectacle, has been created by immigration, mingling, and integration. It is a fact of life, not a fantasy. The mundanity of this cultural mixing is marked by the absence of any heavy-handed focus on difference.
