The Duality of Man (303/485)
Something to ponder in light of Vandover and the Brute. Gustav Hasford’s The Short-Timers formed the basis of this film, and it’s actually a much darker comedy than Kubrick’s adaptation, Full Metal Jacket. In any case the dualism Sgt. Joker invokes lies at the heart of Frank Norris’s novel.
Happy Ides Day

The Vegetarian (415)
Over break let’s all read Han Kang’s very short novel and watch this film adaptation. Remember, the latter is no substitute for the former.
