If you read the Reader Letters #1 series: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, and the epilogue and still want to do further research on your own, I’ve decided to put some relevant links to good related resources. I know it’s a lot, but that’s the point. There are no easy [...]
Here is a link to the previous installment of this series, where I recommended the movie “Darling.” Movie Recommendation #1: Darling On Sunday at 10:15 AM, the cable network Turner Classic Movies is airing “The Moon and Sixpence,” a 1942 movie based on a novel of the same name by W.
