Gustav Klimt. “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I” (1907)

Perhaps my favorite Klimt, no doubt partly because I’ve seen it in real life at the Neue Galerie in Manhattan, 86th and Fifth Ave.

I remember when this came out, it was okay, especially the performance by Linda Hunt who won an Oscar and was her peak, but the whole revolution was a backdrop to the love story, like elevator music.
Re The Yr Of Living Dangerousl I wanted to tell you that journalism abt dictators like Sukarta of Indonesia being overthrown by communists like Bembol Roco(who wants to be able to dine out like the filthy rich)R not as important as a love relationship w Sigourney Weaver.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.

Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Savage Night is the first Jim Thompson novel I read, just by chance, and hooked me on him. I still love this one the most.

19. SAVAGE NIGHT (1953). Jim Thompson’s psycho cops may get all the buzz, but I’ve come to regard this surreal pulper—about a mob killer’s paranoid unravelling—as his greatest work. Extra props for an ending that would make Stephen King envious.

4. THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY? (1935). Horace McCoy’s dance-marathon exposé reads like a suicide note from an entire nation. Look beyond the muckraking, however, and you’ll find one of the most singular female characters in modern fiction.
