Kubrick is Michael Herr's memoir of his nearly twenty-year
friendship and collaboration with Stanley Kubrick, one of the
greatest filmmakers of all time and the creator of such classics as
Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and A Clockwork Orange.
From their first meeting at an advance screening of The Shining in
1980, Kubrick and Herr began an intense intellectual exchange that
grew into the artistic collaboration that ultimately produced the
groundbreaking Vietnam film Full Metal Jacket.
Filled with personal insights and previously untold anecdotes,
Kubrick is a probing view into the inner life of a man whose
creative passion and powerful intellect changed the art of
filmmaking forever -- and of the complicated, often misunderstood
man behind the art.
With an introduction by Kevin Powers. A groundbreaking piece of
journalism which inspired Stanley Kubrick's classic Vietnam War
film Full Metal Jacket. We took space back quickly, expensively,
with total panic and close to maximum brutality. Our machine was
devastating. And versatile. It could do everything but stop.
Michael Herr went to Vietnam as a war correspondent for Esquire. He
returned to tell the real story in all its hallucinatory madness
and brutality, cutting to the quick of the conflict and its
seductive, devastating impact on a generation of young men. His
unflinching account is haunting in its violence, but even more so
in its honesty. First published in 1977, Dispatches was a
revolutionary piece of new journalism that evoked the experiences
of soldiers in Vietnam and has forever shaped our understanding of
the conflict. It is now a seminal classic of war reportage.
"He seems to have brought to this book the ear of a musician and the eye of a painter . . . the premier war correspondence of Vietnam."--Washington Post. "The best book I have ever read on men and war in our time."--John le Carre." . . . Dispatches puts the rest of us in the shade."--Hunter S. Thompson.
A brief love affair produces a child. A child that later brings
tremendous grief to her mother. The mother seeks out the murderer
of her only child and in doing so travels from Kauai over to the
Big Island. There the women of the Pono family get involved by
trying to help the mother find her daughter's killer.
In this 5th book of the Kohala Coast Mystery/Thriller series, Teri
Pono is sent to Maui by the spirit of Queen Ka'ahumanu to intervene
on behalf of a long-dead Maui Maiden. Teri's efforts to put the
Maiden to rest are opposed by others who see the mummified Maiden
as a source of great wealth. In this story, Teri comes closer to
death than ever before. As if she doesn't have enough to worry
about, Teri's mother, Haunani, seems to be descending even further
into the black hole of Alzheimer's disease. A thrilling addition to
this series.
