Ubu Roi

Those not acquainted with the riches of Ubu Web, the online archive of all things avant-garde, have a treat in store for them ... Wayne Koestenbaum has curated the summer edition of their "Featured Resources," and it includes some real gems. I would especially recommend Joseph Cornell's hypnotic film, Rose Hobart. (Also, readers should grab Wayne's new book, Hotel Theory, which uses the hotel as a locus for exploring its promise as a refuge and its reality as a soulless substitute for home, as well as themes of dualism and identity.) (And, needless to say, Wayne is a friend.)
