I am pleased to announce that my project on the films of Paul Thomas Anderson has been approved by the University of Texas Press. The book, tentatively titled, Blossoms & Blood / The Films of Paul Thomas Anderson, promises to contribute to scholarship on contemporary authorship, quasi-independent cinema, postmodern media culture and Anderson's five (soon six) films for years to come.
I will spend the next few months on revisions, with particular attention to a redesigned introduction. I plan to have the complete, final manuscript to UT by July. The hope will be for a spring/fall 2013 debut in print. I really wanted it done in time for the debut of The Master later this year, but academic publishing being what it is . . .
On that note, I am thrilled again to be working with UT. My experience with them on Disney's Most Notorious Film over the last 20 months has been nothing but positive. And, especially these days, I really appreciate the folks who believe in me.
