As a work of fiction, Rome Open City honors the resistance against the Nazi occupation of Rome. Yet, as a work which provides insight into the emotional landscape…

A World of Feeling Besides words on a page, the “heaven-taught” ploughman Robert Burns exists today in metal, housed in a 70-foot tall Grecian temple in his hometown of Alloway in Ayrshire. Despite the constraints of sessile metal, the Bard of Ayrshire has no difficulties getting around: one might also find great Rabbie in San Francisco, Canada, or Australia. In fact, Robert Burns has the third-largest amount of statues built in his image than any other non-religious figure (“Commemorations of…

Written in 1939 and directed in 1941 respectively, The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler and The Maltese Falcon by John Huston are iconic in the detective genre for reinventing what it really means to be a detective in the world of literature. Their main characters are a far cry from the Sherlock Holmes and the Philo Vance type of private eye who never make any mistakes and always get the better of the villain. Instead, their detectives are gritty, hardened, and deeply flawed. However, one detective…
