Krakatoa; The Art of Film Noir
Krakatoa
The 1883 volcanic explosion of Krakatoa in Indonesia could be heard 3000 miles away. It killed tens of thousands of people and lowered temperatures worldwide, yet it has been little explored until now. Larry Mantle talks with bestselling author Simon Winchester about his fascinating new book called Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded (Harper Collins), which the New York Times has called "one of the best books written about the history and significance of a natural disaster."
The Art of Film Noir
Author, novelist, and film noir aficionado Eddie Muller joins Larry Mantle to talk about his stunning new book, The Art of Noir: Posters and Graphics From the Classic Era of Film Noir (Overlook Press). The oversized book contains three hundred and thirty-eight full-color illustrations of posters and graphics from film noir classics like The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity and Kiss Me Deadly, and it has just been nominated for an Edgar Award.
