My bread us earned through research and writing in the field of health, otherwise I scavenge through cultural debris. The four books I reread most years are Flann O’Brien’s Third Policeman, Russell Hoban’s Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz, Thomas Berger’s Arthur Rex, and Jim Dodge’s Fup. Favourite directors include Julio Medem (Tierra, Lovers of the Arctic Circle, Sex with Julia), Tom Tykwer (Heaven, Run Lola Run, and the other two as well), and Louis Bunuel (esp. Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and That Obscure Object of Desire). Anything remotely connected to Charlie Kaufmann. And in regards to music, I am ADD all the way.
