Paperback. Condition: New. The texture of memory and the ability of art and film to bear witness to traumatic events are delicately approached in this book-length essay by a Mekas cinephile. For years, filmmaker Peter Delpeut has had Jonas Mekas's Movie Journal within easy reach of his desk. Since his student days, he has been a great admirer of the Lithuanian-American 'Godfather of avant-garde cinema'. Until he was startled in June 2018 by an article in The New York Review of Books. Historian Michael Casper claimed that Mekas had deliberately forgotten or misrepresented certain events during World War II. Seeded by this controversy over Mekas's memories of his Lithuanian youth and Mekas's pain over his subsequent exile, Delpeut's essayistic and self-reflective book flowers into an inquiry about memory and forgetting; the moral compass of the future that cannot find its bearing in the past; the abilities of art to witness; and the roles we all must play in writing the adequate history of events too traumatic for a just accounting. Although there is little doubt that Mekas himself never participated in the horrors of the Holocaust in Lithuania, his silence about the fate of his Jewish countrymen and neighbors could be said to enable a rewriting of history, at the sacrifice of witness testimonies. As Delpeut follows Mekas through films, diaries, his public performances, his speeches, and finally his testimony given to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), he encounters an impasse for which he was not prepared.…

Paperback. Condition: New. A filmmaker cycling across the United States reflects upon his connection to other passionate cyclists from 20th-century surrealism, adventuresome high-wheelers, science fiction, and philosophy in this charming and artful travel book.For readers of Rebecca Lowe (The Slow Road to Tehran), Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance), and Sara Dykman (Bicycling with Butterflies).The challenge: to cycle from Disney's Epcot Center toward San Francisco - a 4350 mile journey - on the cusp of summer. In search of the mythological American West seamlessly represented in movies and literature, Delpeut and his beloved cycling companion instead discover a landscape rarely felt in its actual punishing weather and expanse. On their way through the South, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, the couple encounter a blistering and varied cast of characters. A philosophy emerges as they bicycle their way across America that unites the challenge, wonderment, discovery, and naiveté that brought them along these roads. Woven into their journey is the history of long-distance cycling in America, the 19th-century high-wheeler adventures, H.G. Wells's Wheels of Chance, the sublime paintings of Mark Rothko, and Alfred Jarry's parody Supermale about the erotics of the machine age. On the day the author turns forty, the adventure culminates in Las Vegas, the ridiculous exaggeration of Manifest Destiny. But instead of becoming discouraged, he writes in a new introduction that this trip was the seed of a passion that has taken him and his still-beloved all over the world for decades since."Peter Delpeut's Long Landscape is a rollicking ride across the United States. The book is a celebration of the nourishing potential of long distance cycling. Delpeut moves seamlessly between travel, film and cycling history, paying homage to the diary form. Imagine David Lynch's Wild at Heart conversing with Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia and you get some sense of the vitality of this wonderful edition." -Dara Waldron, New York Times bestselling author of A Sheepdog Named Oscar.…
