Kay’s Hidden Shelf reviews “A Man Named Baskerville”
Over the weekend, BookTuber Kayla of Kay’s Hidden Shelf offers a gracious and positive review of A Man Named Baskerville. It was a wonderful Fourth of July surprise.
If you’re a fan of science fiction, fantasy, and/or historical fiction, I highly recommend checking out her channel, where she offers patient and thoughtful views on a wide range of fiction. Thanks, Kayla!
Forgotten video of Everywhere Man rediscovered
Only by accident did I discover this 2012 video of the first chapter of Everywhere Man, my novella about the ubiquitousness of modern photography, personal disillusionment, and San Francisco’s cable cars. (Trust me—it all hangs together.)
I produced this in 2012 with iMovie. (It shows in the final product.) I intended this to be used for readings to give a flavor of the book’s tone and content. I recall showing it at a reading I gave at the Mechanics Institute, and perhaps elsewhere.
The superb music was scored and produced by Jesse Solomon Clark. The haunting photos, snapped in and around Union Square and Fisherman’s Wharf, were taken by Veronica Weber.
A quasi-relic of a different time.
The Concordance Depiction
While Googling for my own work—yes, I do that sort of thing—I discovered the video “The Concordance Depiction” by Michelle David.
Originally posted in September 2017, “Depiction” is a 1m04s silent video reaction to my short story “A Concordance of One’s Life”.
Her summary:
This video is about the short story by Jim Nelson called “a concordance of one’s life”. I try to depict the brain of the mentally unstable narrator.
“A Concordance of One’s Life” has inspired other art as well. It was the subject of a San Francisco art show and adapted to a musical by Thu Tran.
