So Many Damn Books

177: Dana Stevens (CAMERA MAN: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema, and the Invention of the Twentieth Century) & Fernando Pessoa's THE BOOK OF DISQUIET


Listen Later

Dana Stevens stops into the Damn Library to talk about her new book, Camera Man: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema, and the Invention of the Twentieth Century, and it allows for lots of subject hopping, from the birth of movie reviews to Buster Keaton's model trains to the trick of describing movies dynamically. Plus, she brings along Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet, a fascinating posthumous tome from a prolific contemporary of Keaton who Dana Stevens is also obsessed with.
