"A fast, complex, exhilarating roadster ride through history and time.... Kino is an intoxicating Euro-brew, written with enormous skill and dedication." — Frederick Barthelme

"Jürgen Fauth's deft mashup of genre and historical period is both a full-throttle literary thriller of ideas and a contemplative examination of film and fascism. Kino is a debut of great intellectual force."– Teddy Wayne

"A surprising alternative history. Kino brings the golden age of German cinema to light with loving, sometimes gritty, detail and great precision." – Neal Pollack, author of Jewball.

"A delirious melange of conspiracy, magic, sex, history, bad behavior, and cinema, Kino is a stellar entertainment, and Jürgen Fauth is a writer of rare, sinister imagination." – Owen King, author of Reenactment

"A light-hearted romp that leads straight into darkness and back through the shadows on the wall."– Ben Loory, author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day

"Movie nuts arise! A happy and felicitous debut."– Terese Svoboda

The Queen

I regret not having written my Shortbus review yet since I was going to announce it as the best movie of the year–but upon seeing The Queen a second time today, among a sold-out senior crowd and a serious technical breakdown at the awful, awful theaters on Third Avenue, I’m not so sure any more. Once again, I ended up crying for HM Helen Mirren and realized just how well written and conceived a film The Queen really is. “Brilliant, my dear.” — “Quite.” Upgraded to five stars.

The Queen. Stephen Frears, 2006. *****
