Fiction. Jack Ruineux, projectionist at a run-down movie theater in Philadelphia, struggles to reconcile Hollywood imagery with his dreary quotidian existence. Alienated from his family, haunted by dark memories of his youth, Ruineux casts himself into an inner world where history, myth, memory, and nostalgia blend in whims of self-reinvention. His concerned lover attempts an emphatic understanding, and seeks to "fill in the gaps" of his broken narrative in order to make whole a Ruineux with whom she can enjoy a profound connection.… (altro)
Edward Desautels’s intriguing first novel offers a disturbing—and eerily riveting—account of the dilemma posed by our cultural addiction to film, how we have been given new license to disregard the heft of the real world and relish the sturdy pleasure-prison of the movie house.

The reckless future, the mystery of what has not yet happened: this, too, he learned, can be preserved in memory. --Paul Auster, The Invention of Solitude.
Porthole design affects both picture and sound. First, good design practice makes the size of the porthole and viewport the very minimum necessary. Large port apertures act as acoustic reflectors bouncing sound back towards the screen, and can also result in a large amount of ambient light leakage from the booth worklights ... Care should be taken over the quality of glass used, and optimum projection requires coating to further avoid internal reflections. -- Technical guidelines for Dolby Stereo Theatres

Seagull Beach just might squat on the rusted launch pad of my memory, a point from which to blast off, trace a history; but--when I look at this photograph of a boy for whom hope still bristles, there in the goose flesh of a windy lost Cape Cod afternoon--I have to wonder if the eyes with which he mocks the camera have anything to do with my own.

Playfully, I'd insinuate you'd been the torch, then lead you to bed with a lullaby and a kiss. I'd sit up long after you'd fallen asleep, happy to finally have a you in my bed to watch over, and when I grew sleepy enough to join you I'd whisper in your drowsing ear, "Sweet dreams, Jack Ruineux."
