Jeffrey DeShell is the author of the novels In Heaven Everything is Fine, S & M, Peter: An (A)Historical Romance, and The Trouble with Being Born.
"Arthouse is a successful series of sketches, cleverly presented in
fourteen unique ways--an interesting, ambitious book and highly
recommended for the adventurous, cinematically inclined
reader."
--Rain Taxi
"An avant-noir tour de force, Jeffrey DeShell's Arthouse is an
architecturally stunning exploration of how we are all thought by
cinema. Peopled by tweakers, dealers, killers, a woman hostage, and
an ex-con academic, set in a blasted corner of the New West, and
shot through the lenses of fourteen films, this extraordinary novel
appropriates and celebrates a multiplicity of filmic vocabularies
and points of view, even as it turns family into a Fellini, sex
into a Suzuki, and the world into a series of eccentric angles,
incommensurate scripts, and beautiful, stylized, joco-serious,
self-reflexive textual double exposures."
--Lance Olsen, author of Calendar of Regrets
