Read More > Books, Book Review, review, women in literature By Zack Budryk on Wed,11:09 I hesitate to classify any art as specifically of the #MeToo era (art driven by women’s rage dates back at least several centuries), but it’s safe to say Amy Gentry’s novel Last Woman Standing is one of the first great books of the post-Harvey Weinstein era. Read More > Movies, Avengers: Endgame By Dan Van Winkle on Wed,10:03 It's not surprising that Avengers: Endgame would earn praise from its early test audiences.
