Jean Luc Godard
In honor of this quotation and of my beautiful Uncle Andrew, I have begun this blog to serve as a home for my many writings on film-- some already published, some not, such as my dissertation.
I love film for precisely this reason Godard identifies. The most beautiful fraud sums it up. In particular, I love silent film, about which I will have much more to say.

Cinema is the Most Beautiful Fraud in the World
I am a writer and a professor of English at the City College of New York, and the CUNY Graduate Center. My books include Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman (1979), Invisibility Blues (1990), Black Popular Culture (1992), and Dark Designs and Visual Culture (2005). I write cultural criticism frequently and am currently working on a project on creativity and feminism among the women in my family, some of which is posted on the Soul Pictures blog.
