Did you ever envision the perfect Southern road trip, but weren't sure how to string together the mythic and the real? Then get your hands on a copy of the new hit book by Scott Pfeiffer and Karolyn Steele-Pfeiffer, The Grit, the Grumble, and the Grandeur: Chicago to New Orleans: A Guide to Travel, Food, and Culture. It'll give you the details you need to burn down Highway 61 from Chicago to New Orleans along the Mississippi. Start planning your journey through the Southern past today.

"Again the Beginner," the new album from Al Rose (with notes/comments by yours truly). Available at Bandcamp, Apple Music and Amazon.

KAILI BLUES (on Cine-File)

AuthorScott Pfeiffer DateFriday, May 31, 2019 at 01:05PM

This week over at Cine-File under "Also Recommended," I wrote about Bi Gan's KAILI BLUES. It's Bi-guiling! (See what I did there?) For anyone craving a deep, specific dive into this picture, I commend to your attention an ingenious article called Poetics and the Periphery: The Journey of Kaili Blues by Jiwei Xiao and Dudley Andrew, over at Cineaste. They analyze the film as a kind of "camera obscura," and offer, well, ingenious analyses of its visual and aural rhymes.
