it has been a few months since i finished all you can ever know by nicole chung, and pretty much all i can say about it at this point is that i enjoyed it, immediately put her next book in my library queue, and have probably had to postpone that delivery a half-dozen times since then because i haven’t had any time for reading lately.

burn it down: power, complicity, and a call for change in hollywood by maureen ryan is an epic survey of the terribleness of the business they call show.

the entertainment industry has a reputation for liberal-ness that really falls apart when you look at it deeply. it has a complicated labor situation, as shown by the recent writers’ strike and ongoing actors’ strike. it has moved incredibly slowly to embrace diverse talent both on the creative and business sides.

it is shifting, too slowly, and i think this book helps move that along.
