Writings

Media

Books

Nonfiction:

  • The Cat in Ancient Egypt, Malek1997 (some nice full-color images; Malek’s accounts are fairly speculative, and could have used a basic discussion of the conventions of ancient Egyptian art, which he often appeals to in interpreting the cat images and explaining why something is/​isn’t important, but never explains.)

Film/​TV

Live-action:

Music

Misc:

  • “Leonardo” (Il Giardino degli Specchi; Oltremare {2018}) [post-rock]
