More research questions

Boulder friends will warmly remember The Video Station, a fantastic video rental store that sadly closed a few years ago, having long outlived the local Blockbuster. Video Station was great! They had just about everything you could think of and were willing to try to find anything they didn't, like the long-belated DVD release of the Richard Attenborough Brighton Rock adaptation. The staff were knowledgeable and opinionated and wrote a cool members' newsletter recommending their favorite new and old releases. They got to know regular customers; one time my mom and I were checking out something slightly different than our usual fare and the clerk paused to say "are you aware that this is neither British nor a mystery?" It was so great and I miss it so much and I wish some kind of benevolent nonprofit could've absorbed it, as happened with Portland's beloved Movie Madness. 
 
One of the great things about Video Station were its nightly specials, certain categories of movie priced for broke students and teenagers depending on the day of the week, and that is what I am seeking information about today.

1. How cheap were they? $3? $1? $0.99?
2. What were the different nights? I think American Classics were Tuesdays but don't remember the rest.
3. What was the brand of vegan caramels you could buy at the checkout desk?
    3a. Are they still in business?
    3b. Can I order some?

These questions also rest atop a somewhat larger question, which is: how committed to accuracy in setting etc. should I be? I'm a real sucker for this level of detail in books I myself enjoy. Despite his habit of redacting parts of street names, one can stroll around St Petersburg following the routes described by Fyodor Dostoevsky in Crime and Punishment and still get a pretty good sense of how things would have appeared to him, although the people currently living in the apartment building where the old woman was murdered are pretty tired of it. Should this level of attention to detail extend to other things beyond geography? Does it matter if characters in a piece rent American Classic movies on a Friday for $2 instead of whatever was actually the case?

Much to think about.

Book Review: You Don't Love Me Yet, by Jonathan Lethem

There are, one feels, slightly too many literary Jonathans. The mid-2000s were positively rotten with them, with notable books by Jonathans Franzen, Lethem, and Safran-Foer appearing seemingly every few weeks. From what I remember, I found Lethem to be the least objectionable of them; I haven't re-read any of his books aside from the subject of today's review in several years but I recall thinking that the one that's kind of like Blade Runner but with more talking animals was pretty good. Even when compared to the one that's kind of like Blade Runner but with more talking animals, You Don't Love Me Yet is a weird book. The book takes place in Los Angeles in a vague time period that might be the early 1990s. The main characters are members of a fledgling band and their various bohemian friends. At the outset of the action, the band's singer and bass player have just broken up, while the drummer and guitarist are tentatively getting together. The bass player ha

Book Review: Modern Lovers, by Emma Straub

 I enjoyed this book more than I anticipated, but a giant problem with it that I must get out of the way before proceeding with the rest of the review is that the fictional band within the book is called Kitty's Mustache. I reject this name absolutely. Coming up with decent band names is hard but come on, man! Modern Lovers is a cute, gentle book about a set of Oberlin graduates now approaching middle age, living in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. They have grown-up careers and high-school age children. Prior to the events of the book, three of them were in a band, the aforementioned Kitty's Mustache, with another woman named Lydia, who went on to have a famous solo career, predicated upon her rendition of a song one of the protagonists wrote, and then died young. The book largely deals with the aftermath of their brief fame and the ways in which they have, or have not, adapted to adulthood and middle-class-ness. Some of the better parts deal with this last issue very deftly, as when

GOOD books about elves

Friends have reassured me that, because I am writing a work of fiction, it absolutely does not matter if I get the date of a 2006 snowstorm or the price of a video rental special wrong, forgetting that I am the kind of person who gets angry at fantasy novels if they are mythologically wrong about elves. "Which books are mythologically right about elves, Rose?" I'm so glad you asked! What irks me about many fictional portrayals of the fair folk is that the authors try to make things up about them out of whole cloth and in so doing miss a lot of the fascinating details that make elves so interesting. The vast body of existing lore, encompassing "fictional" accounts as well as "true" memoirs of fairy encounters, contains so much ornate weirdness that it's always disappointing to me when authors pass it up as source material.  One of the greatest books on elves is of course Sylvia Townsend Warner's Kingdoms of Elfin , a wonderful short story colle
