It’s not often I steal a line from Darth Vader, but here goes: “This will be a day long remembered.” Publishers Weekly has given Through a Screen Darkly a starred review! You can read it here. They give it two thumbs up. Really. See for yourself! Do reviews make a difference?

So, when they pick a single sentence to quote, out of all the hundreds and thousands of sentences that you wrote in 300-plus pages, do you find yourself thinking, “Oh, man, I remember exactly where and when I was when I wrote that sentence!” or “Oh, man, that’s one of the sentences I was never entirely happy with!” or “Oh, man, I just knew that line would get quoted!” or anything like that? Cuz I know I go through that sometimes when you quote my articles in Film Forum. But, like, books are bigger deals. 🙂
Jeffrey, congratulations man! I didn’t get the chance to call you yesterday, but really, this is so huge for your book, and very well deserved! Great job!
Happy Thanksgiving and I’ll call you on Monday! : )
