thanks for reminding me about A Little Devil in America! I haven’t read it yet but Hanif is my favourite writer working today, he’s absolutely incredible
Hey Zombie AVC, how about a little love for your Rushmore former writer Nathan Rabin’s bad-taste celebration, The Joy of Trash, instead. So gross you went with a deeply inferior, non-AVC alum instead…
Cannot wait for All About Me, it’s at the top of my list. Mel is 95, and it’s going to be a very sad day when he passes away – but he has brought so much joy to the world, I’m really glad he wrote a full memoir to preserve even more of his legacy! LONG LIVE MEL BROOKS!
