a very eccentric old woman in rural poland tries to explain to her fellow villagers that the murders happening around them are the revenge of mistreated animals, if only anyone would listen! so idiosyncratic and funny, plays with unreliable narrators and mystery tropes and makes you think about the sanctity of life in all its forms

135 pages of a shallow man giving his deepest thoughts as he prepares to go up to the mezzanine level of his office building via the escalator. Topics include extended treatises on shoelaces, paper towels in the bathroom versus air dryers, and plastic straw technology. A reverse-American Psycho satire of Reagan-era business that finds its disturbing moments in the narrator's most anodyne observations.

You get stoned in Ankara and wander the streets, only to find this band playing in a 1950s style diner with decor from Turkish scifi, Ed Wood ripoffs. Anatolian fuzz that makes Mustafa Kemal Ataturk roll over in his grave.

My 3 yo daughter wanted to know what the flute player looked like that makes the sounds like a bird; was cool to show her this video since any B&W tends to be less exciting for her. For the non-toddlers, the music is also very good.
