About J. Hoberman Books
J. Hoberman was for over three decades a film and culture critic for The Village Voice. His previous books have explored the subculture of midnight movies, the rise and fall of Yiddish-language cinema, the international Communist avantgarde, SoHo performance art, and the underground filmmaker Jack Smith. His "found illusions" trilogy--which includes The Dream Life, Make My Day, and An Army of Phantoms--used Hollywood to refract the history of the Cold War.
