"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 Flatbroke Stringband

In this video you can watch them play “Greasy Coat,” “Dink’s Tune,” and “Stay All Night.” [...]

Give Me Smut and Nothing But
One reading down, a half dozen to go: At Smut Night, Marcy had the hipsters at Galapagos rolling in the aisles with a few twisted sex scenes from Twins. Sharing the stage with her were Abby Ehman, who told a few embarssing Burning Man stories, and Get Your War On David Rees, who promised X-Rated [...]
