Recent Viewing¶

Jackie Brown, 1997. Directed by Quentin Tarantino, written by Quentin Tarantino, based on the novel Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard. I like some of Quentin Tarantino’s films, but not all. This was one of them that didn’t really work for me.

The Pastel City, by M. John Harrison, copyright 1971; Avon Books, First Avon Printing July 1974; Second Printing. A very good post- historical collapsing civilization fantasy, quirky and intriguing. I wish more modern fantasy was inspired by this: we’d have much less extruded fantasy product if it was.
