Reelin' and Writin'

Congratulations to friend, comrade, and contessa of cinema Farran Smith Nehme on the publication of her first novel, Missing Reels , where the romance of the city meets the romance of old movies, tango'ing between the rich palette of the Hannah and Her Sisters 80's and the patchy, velvety monochrome of silent classics. Remarkably assured, neatly plotted, deftly paced, and charming as all get out, it may be the first novel with the churchly soul of a revival house, taking us back to the glory days when the Thalia, the New Yorker, the Elgin, and so many more theaters were running double features of Hollywood and foreign favorites, and film buffs partook of a movable feast.
