Cool book!
Ari Aster calls him “the most important teacher I’ve ever had.”
The Zen of the Director isn’t a how-to manual — it’s a guide to directing your "self."

Capitalism in a nutshell

Jane Austen's 250th birthday is coming up in December and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, acquiring a passion for dead leaves & closet shelves, and taking a fancy to the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.
