Offscreen Notes
New Releases From the University of Mississippi Press
In the July 2010 issue,14/7 in the essay “The Art of the Interview” I highlighted the excellent publishing work of the University of Mississippi Press and their many books featuring director interviews (Maddin, Fellini, Tarkovsky, Penn, De Palma, Keaton, Lynch, etc.). UMP also publishes books on actors, and two of their more recent are Forever Mame: The Life of Rosiland Russell and Alice Faye: A Life Beyond the Silver Screen. These books do not follow the interview format but are single author, extensively researched critical biographies.
