Shorties (Food in Cormac McCarthy's Fiction, Remembering Angelo Badalamenti, and more)

A Dangerous Business by Cormac McCarthy

Dwight Garner explored Cormac McCarthy's use of food in his fiction at the New York Times.

It’s a commonplace to say that food is consolation, but sometimes in McCarthy’s work, food is a vivid reminder that we’re all linked in the meat wheel of life.


Deceptive Cadence remembered composer Angelo Badalamenti.

There's a serendipity to so many of Badalamenti's arrangements for Lynch, which serve as our emotional compass for navigating the director's uncanny worlds.

Vulture also remembered Badalamenti.
