Lessons in the Dark – New E-Book Now Available
My latest e-book, Lessons in the Dark, is now available exclusively at Amazon. com. Why Lessons? Simply because watching movies for me has always been more than just entertainment. It was art, history and it was education. I have found many classic (old) films to still be relevant to our lives today. For example, my father always talked about how tough it was growing up during The Great Depression. However, it was not until I watched films like Wild Boys of the Road and The Grapes of Wrath that I truly began to understand what it was like. I also came to see how today many of these old films have remained relevant to our society and can teach us not to repeat our mistakes.
In this book I have compiled a series of essays on films that reflect one or more of these themes. I hope you enjoy. Below is a link to Amazon.
