Can Such Things Be?

[j e l]

lots of good stuff in here but skip way down to the 2nd new TRP novel
rumor...via Jonathan Rosenbaum, Film Critic:

I’m also looking forward to Jim Jarmusch’s new film—Father, Mother, Sister,
Brother (2025). I’m curious about Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, One
Battle After Another (2025), even though I didn’t really like his
adaptation of Inherent Vice (2014). I don’t think Vineland is a great
novel, but it’s a good novel. It has more possibilities. I don’t think
Pynchon is as ambitious now as he once was, and it seems he’s now
interested in writing these detective novels. They’re still fun to read,
though. When I last spoke with Hat & Beard Press, the publisher of In
Dreams Begin Responsibilities, they confirmed that Pynchon actually has a
second completed novel in addition to the one that will arrive in
October—Shadow Ticket.
