pickLovely and spare. A meditation not only on why this particular airplane crashed but the lives of those who died and the strange intersections of fate. A little autobiographical, too, but who is commenting: the author or a fictional first-person narrator?
So Rififi is one of my favorite movies - it has what is one of the best no-dialogue scenes in any heist movie. (And I believe based on a real crime, which is why it's referenced here) 🎬
For @Liberty #fridayfunphoto - I'm super excited about reading Constellation but also getting to buy Hancher tickets to see Renee Fleming! We've been without Hancher Auditorium since the 2008 flood - so excited for a performing arts season! Also Joffrey Ballet! And Yo-yo Ma! 😻😻😻
Novel translated from original French. Imagining of the real-life doomed flight of a Lockheed Constellation from Paris to NYC in fall of 1949. Passengers included a famous boxer, a Disney employee, a violin virtuoso, and a spy. Positive reviews caught my attention. (Cover has been doctored by me.)
