New Reviews for Zinn and Foucault

We just found two new reviews for a couple of For Beginners classics floating around on the Blogosphere. One written on Christmas Cactus about the historian for the common man: Zinn For Beginners. The other on Metro Time Pass about everyone's favorite French psychologist: Foucault For Beginners.


Both of these blog reviews wrote magnanimous appraisals of our books. Of Zinn For Beginners, Christmas Cactus wrote, "This book is easy to read, it's an eye opener, and it's a first-class piece of writing." Of Foucault For Beginners, Metro Time Pass wrote, "Fillingham has managed to simplify it without losing its inherent depth."


Read each of the blog reviews at Christmas Cactus and Metro Time Pass.

S. Pearl Sharp to Screen her Documentary at The Watts Towers Common Ground Innitiative

S. Pearl Sharp, author of Black Women For Beginners will be screening her documentary, Fertile Ground: Stories from the Watts Towers Arts Center, at the Watts Towers Common Ground Initiative at the Instituto Italiano di Cultura in Los Angeles on Monday, October 18.


The documentary is the first visual documentation of the Watts Towers Arts Center, a creative hub in Los Angeles' Watts community which has nurtured young and established artists in all mediums. The film reveals the Towers' history through stories recounted by the people who have been closest to it. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with S. Pearl Sharp (writer and director of the film) and executive producer, Rosie Lee Hooks.


That will be taking place at 6:00 pm on Monday, October 18. It's sure to be very interesting so if you're in the area, be sure to support the For Beginners author, S. Pearl Sharp.

Hey there Beginners fans,


I just wanted to take a small portion of the blog today to talk about me for a second. If y'all have been wondering why there haven't been as many posts up on the blog as there were, say, two months ago, it's because I have been at school in the gorgeous town of Binghamton, NY doing some really cool things like writing for the news paper and making movies. In fact, I just finished uploading my latest video onto YouTube, you should check it out. And if you like my blogging, then you should check out my newspaper articles too. You can find those here (there will be more in the coming weeks).

This video gets chopped off here, it looks better if you watch it on YouTube.


Well, thanks for listening to me gloat.

Best regards,
Everyone's Favorite Intern
Anthony
