In this NBN episode, I speak with the wonderful Ann Cavlovic about her new novel, Count on Me (Guernica Editions, 2025). The holidays are not easy for so many with difficult family dynamics, and I think this book would be a timely read. Listen in: newbooksnetwork.com/count-on-me

Heart of Glass (1976, d. Herzog) Gloriously shot story of a village trying to recreate the ruby glass that was their town’s lifeblood until its maker died, its superstitions and madness and town seer, is also a look at the descent of the human race. Great work from Herzog and his hypnotized cast.
