She watches The Sound of Music and observes that time is peculiarly preserved in a narrative film; she watches Singin' in the Rain and finds truth and falsehood layered in it like dental veneers; she watches Apocalypse Now and thinks about her father, and a certain Pulitzer-winning photograph of an American POW. Out There in the Dark is a dynamic collection of essays that blends film criticism with memoir and fiction, as well as lists, visual diagrams, and Wikipedia collaging. It plumbs deeply some of our most knotted, abstract concepts: truth, kindness, the West, the female body, war, and--inevitably--Hollywood.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatharine Coldiron is the author of \u003ci\u003eCeremonials, Junk Film\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWire Mothers.\u003c\/i\u003e Her work as a book critic has appeared in the Washington Post, the Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement, and many other places; as an an essayist, in Conjunctions, Ms., Booth, and elsewhere.
