Edgar G. Ulmer is perhaps best known today for Detour, often considered the epitome of a certain noir style that transcends its B-list origins. But in his lifetime he never achieved the celebrity of fellow Austrian and German émigré directors like Billy Wilder, Otto Preminger, Fred Zinnemann, and Robert Siodmak, and spent most of his career as an itinerant filmmaker earning modest paychecks for films frequently overlooked or forgotten. In this fascinating account of a career spent on the margins of Hollywood, Noah Isenberg sheds new light on little-known details of Ulmer’s personal life and his wide-ranging, eclectic films: features aimed at minority audiences, horror and sci-fi flicks, genre pictures made in the United States and abroad. As he follows the twists and turns of Ulmer’s fortunes, Isenberg shows that Ulmer’s unconventional path was in many ways more typical than that of his more illustrious colleagues, advancing a new understanding of low-budget filmmaking in the studio era and beyond.
Edgar Allan Poe's Pie: Math Puzzlers in Classic Poems
Is this poetry? Math? A brainteaser? Yes It's all that and more. The poet J. Patrick Lewis has reimagined classic poems--such as Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" and Langston Hughes's "April Rain Song"--and added a dash of math. Between the silly parodies and the wonderfully wacky art, kids will have so much fun figuring out the puzzles, they won't guess they're learning Answers appear unobtrusively on each page, and engaging information about the original poets is included. Math games and concepts, poetry and poet biographies--it's all so cleverly put together. This funny book is a treat for fans of words and numbers alike.
