Yesterday I posted a
review of writer Andrew Cartmel's terrific book
The Vinyl Detective - Written in Dead Wax. After I finished reading a fictional account of a special detective I almost immediately picked up a non-fiction book about a certain great movie.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), for me, is one of the best ever, if not
the best -- an example of how good the motion picture form can be.
Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece was written by Michael Benson and it's an addictive read. At times I have to force myself to put it down.
While reading about the genesis of
2001: A Space Odyssey I'm becoming convinced the film
is a great work of art.
