Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

12 September 2025

On the surface, Eleanor Oliphant is doing just fine. She has her routine nailed down to the last detail. Same meals, same work schedule, same lonely weekends starting with pizza and slowly working through two bottles of vodka. It’s safe, […]

True North

12 August 2025

Life in mid-century rural America isn’t romanticized in True North by Gary Eller. It’s raw, bleak, unflinchingly honest and not in any rush. It lets decades spool out slowly, dropping in on small towns, farming families, and reservation life across

A Wonderful Day for a Quest

8 August 2025
