“A master-class‑–immersive, detailed, meticulous, privileged inside-dope… Tom Shone is the king of critical cool.” — Craig Raine
“An up-close and personal look at one of Hollywood’s most successful directors…This erudite book is packed with extensive, expansive discussions about Nolan’s films… insights into what he was trying to accomplish with each film; and the movies, directors, books, art, architecture, and music that influenced him…. Fans of Nolan’s films will find this revealing book invaluable.” — Kirkus, starred review

Congratulations. Though I'm not a fan of the Economist, I am a fan of yours, and it will be good to have longer, more frequent pieces. As brief as your posts here are, you're still the best film critic in the States right now. And now that I think about it, Intelligent Life is a good name for a magazine. Best of luck.
