Magic Hours: Essays on Creators and Creation by Tom Bissell

4.0

Tom Bissell can write. His ability to pull you in with essays about film, literature, and sitcoms, is surprising. His approach toward subjects that often come across as elitist and dry are done in a humorous, yet thought-provoking way. The Werner Herzog essay is increcible, and left me with a long list of flims to add to the Netflix que. The story about Jeff Daniels filming a movie in the BFE town in which Bissell grew up, reminds us all with small-town roots of the unique personalities and culture instilled. Though some of the essays are less entrhalling, Magic Hours' abracadabra is certain to please.
