one of our most beloved actors has left us. MICHAEL GAMBON always shined in everything he did. THE SINGING DETECTIVE and THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER are my two personal favorites among his huge body of work. I never got to work with Michael but late one night in 2001 he and BRIAN COX somehow found their way into the bar Victoria and I owned in Chelsea. We drank lots and laughed long into the wee hours. I will never forget his kindness, his warm spirit and his wonderful wonderful work.
I really loved the brilliant performance by LILY GLADSTONE in KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON which is the latest MARTIN SCORSESE masterpiece. Great work from DeNiro, DiCaprio, Scott Shepherd and the entire cast. See it as soon as you can. @martinscorsese_ @lilygladstone @scottshepherd

Very excited to join the amazing OCEAN VUONG on OCTOBER 5 at 1pm EASTERN/6pm GMT for this exclusive FREE ONLINE conversation about writing and the importance of literature in our lives. Presented by the Royal Society of Literature, London.
Both Ocean and I published our debut novels in recent years, The Perfume Burned His Eyes and On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous. We will discuss the experience of writing and releasing novels when you’re known for other artforms, as well as the overlapping themes in both of their work, from coming-of-age stories, to mother figures, to violence, to vulnerability.
To watch, register through the LINK IN BIO to be emailed a viewing link on the day. @ocean_vuong @royalsocietyofliterature
Jack Kerouac left us on this day in 1969. “Even in dreams be kind, because anyway there is no time, no space, no mind…” -from The Scripture of the Golden Eternity #43. His scripture is eternal. @kerouacestate #jackkerouac

… During an eclipse is a very powerful time to pray, to keep our minds in positive directions.
The power of the eclipse magnifies everything, positive and negative. YOUR prayers are needed, now more than ever and greatly magnified now. Every being wants peace, every being wants happiness and to reduce the suffering in their lives and minds. We are all the same. SOMETHING WE CAN DO to help is to actually try to purify our own
negatives and increase what is positive, this affects all things. May peace prevail.
