2nd attempt at this video. On the list is Shadowland about the actress Frances Farmer by William Arnold and recommended by Kurt Cobain. Reading this book was a very strange experience. I realized Kurt and Frances had a lot in common and many parallels between them. So much so I'm comparing them in this video. And then things get a little weird.
Also referenced in this video is the book Heavier than Heaven by Charles R. Cross
