On the surface this is a collection of film reviews for movies that don't exist. But in footnotes that begin academic and slowly become more personal, a story emerges of the reviewer, an English teenage boy, as he comes to terms with an unrequited love and struggles with things that he cannot change. This postmodern novel by Portland author Mark Savage is perfect for fans of Jorge Luis Borges, Nabakov's Pale Fire, and film history and theory.
