The Oral History of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused
Melissa Maerz - 2020-11-17
Calificación de Goodreads
The definitive oral history of the iconic cult classic Dazed and Confused, featuring behind-the-scenes stories from the cast, crew, and director Richard Linklater. This book covers how a simple idea turned into a beloved movie that introduced a group of unknown actors who would become the next generation of movie stars. Combining behind-the-scenes photos and insights from nearly the entire cast, it offers an inside look at how a budding filmmaker and a cast of newcomers made a period piece that would feel timeless for decades to come.

La Policía de la Memoria
A Novel
Yoko Ogawa - 2019-08-13 (publicado por primera vez en 1994)
Calificación de Goodreads
En una pequeña isla se produce un misterioso fenómeno. Un día desaparecen los pájaros, al siguiente podría desaparecer cualquier cosa: los peces, los árboles... Peor aún, también se desvanecerá la memoria de ellos, al igual que las emociones y sensaciones que llevaban asociadas. Nadie sabrá ni recordará entonces qué eran. Hay incluso una policía dedicada a perseguir a los que conservan la capacidad de recordar lo que ya no existe. En esa isla vive una joven escritora que, tras la muerte de su madre, intenta escribir una novela mientras trata de proteger a su editor, que está en peligro porque forma parte de los pocos que recuerdan. La ayudará un anciano al que empiezan a fallarle las fuerzas. Mientras, lentamente, nuestra protagonista va dando forma a su novela: es el relato de una mecanógrafa cuyo jefe acaba reteniéndola contra su voluntad en un altillo. Una obra sobre el poder de la memoria y sobre la pérdida.

El último buen beso book cover
El último buen beso
James Crumley - 1988-11-05 (publicado por primera vez en 1978)
Calificación de Goodreads
C. W. Sughrue ex oficial del Ejército, alcohólico y mujeriego, representa el arquetipo del investigador privado de la América posterior a la Guerra de Vietnam. De gatillo fácil y escasos escrúpulos, mientras trabaja en un bar de topless de Montana recibe el encargo de encontrar a un escritor en paradero desconocido. Sin que Sughrue lo pretenda, su búsqueda le llevará a interesarse por la desaparición de una joven diez años atrás en San Francisco. Esta nueva tarea, sin embargo, se convertirá en un intrépido viaje a las entrañas de una nación que sufre las consecuencias psicológicas de una guerra, con sus pesadillas y sus sombras aflorando a cada paso. Con su prosa elegante y un retrato sin concesiones de una sociedad en decadencia, El último buen beso es una experiencia llena de trepidante acción, cruel ironía y crítica brutal al género humano. El sexo, el dinero, la corrupción, la violencia y las drogas se hacen un hueco en una fascinante historia donde lo más importante es dejar atrás el propio pasado.
