Films and books have long held two neighboring places in my
heart. As forms of storytelling, they have shaped and influenced me, each
informing the other. I warn students of any class I teach that I will be
referring, indiscriminately,...
"As soon as we express something, we devalue it strangely. We believe ourselves to have dived down into the depths of the abyss, and when we once again reach the surface, the drops of water on our pale fingertips no longer resemble the ocean from which they came...Nevertheless, the treasure shimmers in the darkness unchanged." ---Franz Kafka
