Cultural Consumption, 2022-Style! Best of!

The best books and films of 2022, some description thereof, as well as a few of the worst.

In February 2022 I started reading “Ulysses” by James Joyce, “Odyssey”, watched “The Killing” (1956) and other things like the Russian film “T-34”

"The Killing" makes murder a spectacle, something beautiful, peopled with a group of ne’er-do-wells whose destruction we will undoubtedly enjoy.

Moments of grace: finishing Lois Lowry’s "Number the Stars," Edith Wharton’s "Ethan Frome", and viewing again the 2000 film "Sexy Beast."
