As the father of the hardboiled detective genre, Dashiell Hammett had a huge influence on Hollywood. Yet, it is easy to forget how adaptable Hammett’s work was, fitting into a variety of genres and inspiring generations of filmmakers. Dashiell Hammett and the Movies offers the first comprehensive look at Hammett’s broad oeuvre and how it was adapted into films from the 1930s all the way into the 1990s. Film scholar William H. Mooney reveals the wide range of films crafted from the same Hammett novels, as when The Maltese Falcon was filmed first as a pre-Code sexploitation movie, then as a Bette Davis screwball comedy, and finally as the Humphrey Bogart classic. He also considers how Hammett rose to Hollywood fame not through the genre most associated with him, but through a much fizzier concoction, the witty murder mystery The Thin Man. To demonstrate the hold Hammett still has over contemporary filmmakers, the book culminates in an examination of the Coen brothers’ pastiche Miller’s Crossing. Mooney not only provides us with an in-depth analysis of Hammett adaptations, he also chronicles how Hollywood enabled the author’s own rise to stardom, complete with a celebrity romance and a carefully crafted public persona. Giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the complex power relationships, cultural contexts, and production concerns involved in bringing Hammett’s work from the page to the screen, Dashiell Hammett and the Movies offers a fresh take on a literary titan.

An updated and revised edition celebrating the sixteenth anniversary of this cult classic memoir! Once upon a time, a young girl walked into a world of wonder and delight. But that's not where this story starts. The young woman published a nationally recognized children's book and edited a star-filled collection of stories to benefit the tsunami relief effort. But that's not where this story ends. Meet Alethea Kontis, whose life is an adventure that tears through these pages like a hurricane of inspiration. Carrot-a-day cancer cures and Murphy as a guardian angel (yes, that Murphy, the guy with all those irritating laws) are just a part of the daily routine for the Incredible Whirlwind of Beauty and Dynamite, the force of nature masquerading in human form. Through essays, poetry, and commentary from family, friends, and famous authors alike, a world of Blood Oaths and road trips, broken hearts and mended cars, comes alive with the strength of one woman's conviction that the world is there to be befriended. You have now been introduced. Let your adventure begin.

Poetry. Winner of the 2015 Frost Place Chapbook Competition. The poems of Anders Carlson-Wee's debut chapbook DYNAMITE flare with the volatile heat of discovery and loss as they follow the journeys of a speaker whose wanderlust leads him to the fringes of the American experiment. Whether hopping freight trains with his brother or sleeping in the homes of strangers, the speaker is haunted by the tragic and oddly gracious people he meets. Selected by Jennifer Grotz as the winner of The Frost Place Chapbook Competition, Anders Carlson-Wee's DYNAMITE rides into the unmappable territories and wide expanses of the spirit.

Download We Shed Our Skin Like Dynamite Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
We Shed Our Skin Like Dynamite is collection of 48 poems, divided into 3 sections of 16 poems each. It is about the development of identity in your early adulthood. What do you let define you? What do you retain, and what do you let go of? It is about seeking answers in other people, unhealthy relationships, in sex, in booze, in weed, in art, in nature. Perhaps most successfully, in nature. In this collection, I seek to reflect the shaky grounds we all navigate while attempting to craft ourselves. The ethereal feeling of grasping for certitude in all the wrong (but hopefully at some point, right) places. The fog of experimenting with yourself. The haze of your early twenties. The insistent return of the desire for transcendence, and the constant dismissal of it in favour of material coping mechanisms.
