Nine Inches, a collection of fiction stories from the pen of Tom Perrotta, and published in 2013, seemed to be calling to me last month as I browsed the shelves of my local library, though I’d never heard of Perrotta before. I should have been familiar with his name, however, since, as I later learned, he’s a successful author. In fact, two of his novels (Election; Little Children) have been turned into movies, and another (The Leftovers) into a television series.
With nothing to lose, I brought Nine Inches home. I’m glad I did. I mean, Perrotta can write. He sharply examines the human mind and emotions, effortlessly illuminating the quirks, insecurities, maladjustments and f*cked-up decisions that run rampant in our species, and which can propel people’s lives in unanticipated directions, some of them most unfortunate. He does so with sentence after sentence that go down as easily as your favorite comfort food and also, when needed, pack a hell of a punch.
Take the opening story in the volume, for instance. It’s titled Backrub, and chronicles the days and nights of Donald, a bright kid just out of high school. The victim of misaligned stars, he was rejected by every college he applied to. Wobbled by this injustice, he takes a job as a pizza delivery person and, after a while, not caring enough to want to try and right his ship, slides comfortably into dealing drugs. Perrotta’s gift for language shines in this paragraph near the story’s conclusion.
It all went down so fast. I barely had time to register the lights in my rearview mirror when I saw two more cop cars right in front of me, blocking the intersection. I got out with my hands on my head, like they told me to, and the next thing I knew I was lying facedown in the street, with my hands cuffed behind my back.
Perrotta’s writing style agrees with me. It’s taut and uncomplicated. He takes on a wide variety of subjects in Nine Inches (unfulfilling marriages, a lonely widow, an insecure teacher, to name a few), and brings them to life with clarity. While reading Perrotta’s stories, I subconsciously kept thinking to myself, “Man, this seems real.” That’s a solid compliment.
On the other hand, not all that much about the television series The Lincoln Lawyer seems truly real, except for some courtroom scenes. But that’s more than okay. Sure, Mickey Haller — aka The Lincoln Lawyer — is preternaturally quick on his feet. But that only adds to his likeability. He and the show’s other main characters are good people, loyal to each other, and don’t take shit from anyone. I’m down with all of that. (By the way, a film version of TLL came out in 2011. It’s good.)
My wife Sandy and I polished off season two of The Lincoln Lawyer recently, after watching season one earlier this year. Both rock, two even more than one. In the second season, Haller (played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), who does a good bit of his best work-related thinking while driving or being driven in one of his Lincolns, finds himself defending a lady accused of murder. Not all that many hours before she is brought up on charges, she and Haller were in bed together, enjoying the heck out of one another. What, you’d expect otherwise? But, hey, don’t prejudge the show. It’s quality escapist fun. The plot lines are tricky. The dialogue sparkles. And the actors give it their all. Sandy and I, for sure, are hoping that Netflix will renew The Lincoln Lawyer for a third run.
Which brings us, rather haphazardly, to another creation — The Well, a new song that instantly grabbed me when I heard it on the radio a couple of weeks ago. It’s the work of Briscoe, a group from Texas, and will appear on Briscoe’s first album, which is scheduled to be released next month.
The two main guys in Briscoe — Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton — are in their 20s. But they are looking far into the future in The Well, pondering whether memories of the joys of youth will help to sustain old age. I think the Briscoe boys are concerned about something that isn’t going to happen. They’ll be just fine, enjoying the moment, when they reach their “golden” years.
That quibble aside, there’s no denying that The Well, an old-timey type of song brought to high places by rocking drums, is catchy as can be. The blend of the stringed instruments with the quivering, giddy vocals makes me go weak in the knees. I’m smitten!
So, those are a few of the things that have rung my bell of late. What’s rung yours?
Yeah, Another Blogger

We just finished the third season of Mare Fuore on Netflix here in Italy. It might be under the title The Sea Beyond in the U.S. Think combination Kids Behind Bars and Romeo and Juliet. It’s gritty, somehow romantic, and gives you a look into a less punitive kind of detention. Maybe the juvie center workers are unrealistic, but they really care about the kids. In Italy the subtitles are in Italian by default because a lot of the dialogue is in Neapolitan, which is more than an accent or dialect, it’s its own language. And Italians who are not Neapolitan (like me) have trouble understanding it.

For comparison, and comment, I went to a retirement home yesterday to visit an old friend and commented on a book on top of the stack she had by her bedside. It had something about angels in the title and that and the cover illustration brought me to comment that it didn’t look like something which would have interested her. She explained that the author was from her home village; had bought the local church and reconfigured and redecorated it to make an interesting home; had also purchased the local garage and had done the same as she had with another very large house and two smaller houses. She was practically the local landowner! Her only obvious source of income was from the series of books on angels – angels in our lives, in the lives of others etc etc – and this mystified my friend as, let’s face it, the Irish are not particularly taken by angels. However, she discovered that this lady was regularly in the USA delivering talks on her Irish angels, talks which were obviously very popular indeed and, it would seem, very lucrative. Her conclusion? Those Americans are very stupid – why else would they part with their money to listen to such drivel.

I wasn’t aware of Briscoe, but their sound is familiar as my favorite part of my state: the Texas hill country. I’ve been on the road where many camps like the one that brought these two together are long-established traditions, and I’ve spent many an evening on a back porch outside Kerrville listening to music much like this. They gravitated to the Austin scene, as many (most?) young musicians do, but I wouldn’t be surprised to run into them somewhere in the future.
As to what’s ringing my bell right now, it’s the a cappella group Home Free. They’re consummate musicians, and produce some of the best videos going. I featured a song called “My Church” (actually about hitting the road with the windows down and the volume up) in a recent post, and when I need a laugh, I take a look at their hilarious take on “All About That Bass.” Their skill of their beatboxer, Adam Rupp, is not to be believed.

Good stuff here, Neil! On your recommendation, I just checked out the ebook of Nine Inches from my local library. Sounds like stories and writing style I would like. I wasn’t aware there is a series based on Michael Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer. I love Connelly’s books and his characters. Wasn’t too impressed with the series they based on his Harry Bosch mysteries, but I’ll look for Lincoln Lawyer. Speaking of lawyer shows, have you and Sandy watched Extraordinary Attorney Woo, also on Netflix? It’s a show from South Korea (dubbed) that we found highly entertaining. Like most shows you need to give it about 3 episodes, but then you’ll be hooked. Solid acting, great storylines, fascinating characters.

I read The Leftovers and found Perrotta’s writing sparse in some ways, and clean. The content was thought-provoking, and the ending obscure. I believe that’s called “literary fiction.” These short stories sound like they are written with the same temperament. Is the cover a “come on over and try out this book?” I guess I’m a prude because I think it would turn me away from it, until I saw the author’s name.
I read The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly and liked it a lot. I like all of Connelly’s books and characters. The movie was okay, but I always envision better when I’m reading. Movies TELL me how to understand a character, while books SHOW me and let me use my own imagination. Whoa, I’m lots of fun today. Ha. But truly, few movies or TV series improve or even equal to the book. But like you and your wife, my guy and I like to relax and watch TV together. Just hard to find something we both enjoy.
