Back to the Garden
The previous entry dealt with an artist who died last Wednesday (August 26).
Dominick Dunne, producer of the film version of "The Boys in the Band," also died last Wednesday.
In his memory, four readings:
1. "Pilot Fish," by Hemingway
2. Self-profile by Stephen Vider, author of "American Mystic" (see previous entry)
3. "Party Animal," Vider's essay on "The Boys in the Band" published on Sinatra's birthday, 2008
4. Back to the Garden of Forking Paths (also on Sinatra's birthday, 2008)
