Withdrawal

No Justified to watch today. :-(

But here's an amazing tribute to Breaking Bad (just do not watch if you haven't seen the whole series up to season 4's finale!):

This video is true to the show (Walter's journey and Walt/Jesse terrific and dysfonctional relationship), but one could think that BrBa is all about action-packed scenes while the pace of the show is rather a slow-burn.

There won't be another Gay's novel

I missed the news weeks ago but saw this on twitter today:

The great Southern novelist and story writer William Gay died at his home in Hohenwald, Tennessee, on February 23rd of this year, at the age of 70. An intensely private man who valued his reclusion and had no interest in the sometimes shameless self-promotion required by authors, Gay spoke at great length and on numerous occasions with William Giraldi in 2008 in preparation for Giraldi’s essay “A World Almost Rotten: The Fiction of William Gay,” the only in-depth critical analysis of Gay’s novels and stories.

The Rumpus offers Giraldi’s essay for the legion of Gay’s heartbroken fans, and for those lucky ones who are about to discover for the first time this important voice in American fiction.
