Explores British director Steve McQueen’s diverse output, from video installations to independent cinema to Hollywood to the BBC

Refocus: The Films of Steve McQueen

AN IRISH TIMES DEBUT AUTHOR TO LOOK OUT FOR 2025 'Beautifully written' LOUISE KENNEDY 'Full of verve and wit and humanity' MARY COSTELLO 'Clever and original' TLS 'A tremendous new talent' KEVIN BARRY Mairéad works tirelessly in a run-down West End theatre's wardrobe department - mending shoes, fixing broken zips and even handwashing underwear. She must also sidestep groping hands backstage and withstand the relentless bullying of the show's producer. The job was meant to be the first step towards the life Mairéad has always wanted, and yet half of her remains back home in Ireland, along with everything she abandoned there. A reckoning with the past is coming and, with it, the need to forge a new present - one stitch at a time.

Managing Your Money: The Compact Guide

This book explores the exponential growth of true crime podcasting and its effects on the growth of criminal justice reform advocacy in the United States. Sherrill argues that true crime podcasts exist as hybrid organizations with multiple goals, including entertainment, criminal justice reform advocacy, and journalistic inquiry.

WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD PRIZE • A big and big-hearted novel—one enthralling, transformative year in the life of a child actor coming of age in a bygone Manhattan, from the critically acclaimed author of Mr. Peanut NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER, NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, TOWN &amp; COUNTRY, AND PEOPLE • GOTHAM BOOK PRIZE FINALIST • MULANEY READS BOOK CLUB PICK "A gorgeous cat's cradle of a book . . . The swirling vapors of Holden Caulfield are present in Playworld, for sure, but also Lolita, Willy Loman, Garp." —Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times Book Review "Extraordinary . . . A beguiling ode to a lost era . . . Line for line the book is a revelation." —Leigh Haber, Los Angeles Times “In the fall of 1980, when I was fourteen, a friend of my parents named Naomi Shah fell in love with me. She was thirty-six, a mother of two, and married to a wealthy man. Like so many things that happened to me that year, it didn’t seem strange at the time.” Griffin Hurt is in over his head. Between his role as Peter Proton on the hit TV show The Nuclear Family and the pressure of high school at New York's elite Boyd Prep—along with the increasingly compromising demands of his wrestling coach—he's teetering on the edge of collapse. Then comes Naomi Shah, twenty-two years Griffin’s senior. Unwilling to lay his burdens on his shrink—whom he shares with his father, mother, and younger brother—Griffin soon finds himself in the back of Naomi’s Mercedes sedan, again and again, confessing all to the one person who might do him the most harm. Less a bildungsroman than a story of miseducation, Playworld is a novel of epic proportions, bursting with laughter and heartache. Adam Ross immerses us in the life of Griffin and his loving (yet disintegrating) family while seeming to evoke the entirety of Manhattan and the ethos of an era—with Jimmy Carter on his way out and a B-list celebrity named Ronald Reagan on his way in. Surrounded by adults who embody the age’s excesses—and who seem to care little about what their children are up to—Griffin is left to himself to find the line between youth and maturity, dependence and love, acting and truly grappling with life.

Playworld

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in this enchanting novel about estranged lovers reconnecting over mysterious tapes found in an attic and the old Hollywood secret hidden within them. After her grandmother’s death, thirty-something Margot DuBois prepares to sell the house quickly so she can go back to her predictable life in Santa Barbara. There, no one knows she used to write and how not succeeding wrecked her confidence. While cleaning out the attic, she comes across eight unlabeled cassette tapes. Unable to use the damaged tape player, she calls in a favor from Leo—her first love and first epic heartbreak—and they strike a deal: he’ll fix the player if he can hear what’s on the tapes. When they manage to listen, the two are shocked to hear the voice of comedic legend Vivian Stone. Why did she record these tapes and how did Margot’s grandmother get them? Between listening to Vivian recount everything from her forbidden love for Hollywood’s leading actor, to working under a misogynistic exec, to her chemistry with her costar-turned-husband on TV, Margot and Leo fall down a memory lane of their own. Margot is inspired by Vivian’s tenacity and courage to keep fighting for the life she wants, but everything changes when Vivian reveals a secret tied to her past in this moving exploration of how it’s never too late to start over.

Bride of Frankenstein

A deep dive into the grit and glamor of America’s favorite criminal couple and the nation’s love affair with guns. On May 23, 1934, two borderline inept but ruthless criminals named Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker met their end in a hail of semiautomatic gunfire on a rural road in the Louisiana backcountry. The duo had terrorized Depression-era Middle America with a string of robberies and a brazen daylight prison escape, killing nearly a dozen police officers along the way. A legend was born. Thirty-two years later, a movie crew gathered on a Warner Bros. studio ranch to re-create the scene of Bonnie and Clyde’s violent demise. It was the end of a difficult shoot. Almost everyone involved knew they were on to something, but getting there had taken a toll on relationships both professional and personal. The result was destined to become what is arguably the landmark film of the New Hollywood era. Nothing like it had ever been attempted anything similar had, in fact, been forbidden by censorship. When the lights finally came up after an agonizing moment of black, Hollywood would never be the same. Almost sixty years since it exploded onto American screens, Bonnie and Clyde still retains the power to shock, amaze, and provoke, as fresh and relevant today as when it was first released in 1967. The movie’s resonance goes well beyond the peerless filmmaking of director Arthur Penn, producer-star Warren Beatty, and their talented team of collaborators. Bonnie and Clyde taps into a dark wellspring in the American psyche. Produced in a time of great social upheaval, with a country divided under a deeply polarizing president, the film addresses troubling questions about our country’s founding myth and its obsession with firearms, questions that remain part of our national debate. They Kill People is the story of the making of Bonnie and Clyde. It is the story of the outlaws whose real lives were anything but glamorous. Most of all, it is the story of how violence and a predilection for firearms became a fundamental part of American identity.

Focusing on artists and creators, this shortform book analyses the labour market in the creative economy in the context of cultural policies.

A Triangular Model in Poland

Artists Labour Market, Cultural Policy and Creative Economy

"In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, European artists grappled with an enormous transformation of how human beings relate to the natural world. The management and extraction of resources on an unprecedented scale and within a global network required novel systems for measuring, analyzing, and manipulating natural phenomena across vast distances. Reading paintings and prints through the lens of concepts from environmental history, including unbundling, longtermism, and scale-thinking, this book examines the relationship between the operations of landscape and the operations of extraction. "Picturing landscape" is not a genre but rather a mode of inquiry through which artists explored the promises and the perils of extractive processes and the scientific concepts that informed them. Stephanie O'Rourke reveals this operation at work in relation to specific industries, such as mining and timber harvesting, as well as concepts of race, climate, and waste emerging within the continent and its colonial networks. In so doing, she offers fresh consideration of what was at stake in visual representations at a crucial moment when the natural world was increasingly defined by its incommensurability with human experience"--

Picturing Landscape in an Age of Extraction

When Bob and Dick Sherman-two relatively unknown songwriters-walked onto the Walt Disney Studios lot to pitch a song for Annette Funicello, they had no idea that they'd end up meeting Disney himself or that a few months later they'd be developing the songs and story line for the studio's biggest live-action film ever. In this captivating book, Todd James Pierce details the process from conception through production, including the challenges faced in dealing with author P. L. Travers. While the Shermans and their songs are at the heart of the book, there are also lively anecdotes about the casting of the film, the innovative special effects and the relationship between "Mary Poppins" and the larger Disney world. Making Mary Poppins tells the fascinating story behind an iconic film.
