By Judith Krummeck | Posted in Host Blogs | Comments Off on Revisiting Sugarman

Just after I returned from Africa last August, my writing professor at UB (Marion Winik, whose interview I posted here last week) sent me an email asking me if I had seen the film, “Searching for Sugar Man,” because of its strong South African connection. As I wrote in a blog back then, as soon […]

Another kind of time

She thought that, as a nonfiction writer and an occasional memoirist myself, I would appreciate his style, and […]

Comedy with an edge

By Judith Krummeck | Posted in Host Blogs | Comments Off on Comedy with an edge

By Judith Krummeck | Posted in Host Blogs | Comments Off on Julius Caesar re-invented
