"Gerry: Minute by Minute is a non-traditional study of Gus van Sant's cult film from 2002. The book's structure unfolds chronologically with the film, with one moment from each of the film's 100 minutes serving as the basis for the chapters. Each vignette chapter takes on topics ranging from the particulars of the film itself, while focused on both specific and universal questions: what is it about certain works of art that attach themselves to us so that we carry them with us on our journey through life?"--
