(W) Harlan Ellison (A/CA) Harlan Ellison
Harlan Ellison's Watching documents twenty-five years of this award-winning author's writings on his obsession with motion pictures. Includes over fifty essays!
Most overviews of film are written from some high, sunlit mountaintop. In this first collection of Harlan Ellison's cinema criticism come from the darkened interiors of a thousand movie houses where this most peculiar of all Observers of the Passing Scene has spent much of his life. The view is guaranteed to make you grind your teeth in anger, nod your head in blessed agreement, and open your eyes in a manner of judging films that is definitely not plebeian. Harlan Ellison's love affair with movies is obvious. As an essayist, he has no equal; as a film critic he has no friends. Take care.
Unavailable for fifteen years, this edition of Harlan Ellison's Watching features a new introduction by renowned film critic Leonard Maltin.
