A timeline and pictorial tribute to the work of Stanley Kubrick:
Day of the Fight (1951)
Music credit:
Cryptic Sorrow by Kevin MacLeod.
– Stanley Kubrick.
Jhumpa Lahiri, on writing:
In fiction, plenty do the job of conveying
information, rousing suspense, painting characters, enabling them to speak.
But only certain sentences breathe and shift
about, like live matter in soil.
- Jhumpa Lahiri.
