J. Hoberman's. He lives in New York.
Praise for Make My Day:
"Singular, stylish and slightly intoxicating in its scope."
—David Fear, Rolling Stone
"Unfurls as a richly narrated timeline in which the passage of
months and years is marked by the inception, arrival, and aftermath
of totemic 'Movie Events.'"
—Brooklyn Rail
"The appeal of a book like Make My Day lies . . . in the
opportunities it affords an able, committed critic like Hoberman to
dig into a variety of individual titles. . . . There are bits here
that you'll want to read again even before you've finished
them."
—Cinema Scope Magazine "Rigorous, scholarly . . . for readers
seeking an insightful, academic meditation on the relationship
between media and sociopolitical issues."
—Library Journal
"Intelligent, insightful. . . . a convincing case for the benefits
of engaging critically with seemingly trivial popcorn movies."
—Publishers Weekly "A passionately argued jeremiad about an era and
its lingering effects on politics and culture."
—Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Dream Life:
"One of the most vital cultural histories I've ever read.
Hoberman's deceptively easygoing yet deliriously compacted prose
threads history through movie lore through McLuhanesque media
criticism. . . . An extraordinary publishing event."
—David Edelstein, Slate
Praise for J. Hoberman:
"Nobody in America writes as well about culture and film as J.
Hoberman."
—Peter Biskind
