  • @dethklok666metall It's Walter Kirn's book, he wrote about a bunch of ppl from his high school.

  • @ryanchanfilms um what?

  • @dethklok666metall Your dad might be in Lost in the Meritocracy.

  • ths is so cool. my dad was good friends with him back in high school. 

  • Like that Ashberry quote 45:25 'The Ice Storm'

  • 'Up In The Air' 38:09 Interesting to hear the birth of this great novel, and now a great movie. (Congratulations to Sheldon Turner and Jason Reitman on winning the BAFTA on Sunday for Best Adapted Screenplay. Good luck at the Oscars. Deserves to win. Superb adaptation.) I hope Walter Kirn now moves to the A-List of American novelists, to be in the company of Roth, DeLillo, and Robert Stone.

  • Interviews like these are fantastic. C-Span continues to do a worthy job. Thank you posting this illuminating Walter Kirn interview.
