Ian Penman & Adam Mars-Jones: Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors

<p>Melodrama, biography, cold war thriller, drug memoir, essay in fragments, mystery – ​<em>Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors</em> is cult critic Ian Penman’s long awaited first original book, a kaleidoscopic study of the late West German film maker Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945–1982). Written quickly under a self-imposed deadline in the spirit of Fassbinder himself, who would often get films made in a matter of weeks or months, ​<em>Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors </em>presents the filmmaker as a pivotal figure in the late 1970s moment between late modernism and the advent of postmodernism and the digital revolution. Penman was joined in conversation by Adam Mars-Jones.</p><br><p>Buy a copy of <em>Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors</em>: <a href="https://lrb.me/fassbinder" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lrb.me/fassbinder</a></p><p>Find more events at the Bookshop: <a href="https://lrb.me/eventspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lrb.me/eventspod</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
