I am currently completing a book on tragedy in the major films of screen director, Sam Peckinpah. Chapters from this manuscript have appeared in Doing it Right: The Best Criticism on Sam Peckinpah’s “The Wild Bunch,” and Sam Peckinpah’s West: New Perspectives; recent papers on the films “Ghost World” and “In the Bedroom.” I am teaching a new course on “Philip K. Dick’s America: Fiction into Film” and am working on another new course on “The Graphic Novel.”
