Another fine volume in the authors’/packagers’ series of “52” where
they delve into the “52 Best” books, films, TV shows etc. the genre has to
offer.
[You’ll find the volume on Western fiction as well as interviews with
Mr. Harris and Mr. Bishop on this very blog.]
Such “Best of” lists are rife with omissions and hurt feelings as invariably
someone’s pet choice is overlooked. The opposite happens as well with the “Are
you kidding me?! Who thinks that is any good?”
Such things are the case with a listed endeavors, but the nature of
such things is to act as a reminder for forgotten work, or as a finger pointing
to undiscovered treasures, or at least sideways prompts to further enjoyments
within the given subject.
With all the above in mind, the volume succeeds admirably.
I will provide not one sneak peek as to which shows did nor did not
make the cut as that is the non-fiction equivalent of spoilers and less than
kind to the authors’ incentives to continue to produce more good work.
It’s fine work, it will lead to much viewing entertainment. Pony up
and pick up a volume.
