Books, films, and art I keep returning to.

Books

• The Old Man and the Sea

  No one does more with less than Hemingway.

• The Brothers Karamazov

  Messy, intense, and full of arguments I still think about.

• The Alchemist

  A reminder to keep going.

• On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

  Made me think more carefully about the craft of writing.

Film

• 12 Angry Men

  A masterclass in tension, dialogue, and conviction.

• The Iron Claw

  Quietly devastating. I haven't stopped thinking about it.

• About Time

  The whole film is in the second viewing of an ordinary day.

• Interstellar

  I just love space movies.

Art

A small collection of things I've made.
