Books by my friends on shelves in Jim Jarmusch movies

In Jim Jarmusch's "Father Mother Sister Brother" (2025), there's a bookshelf in the house of the father (Tom Waits). It reminded me of a bookshelf in Jarmusch's "Paterson" (2016) that features "The Walk", a book by Robert Walser (1878-1956), translated by Christopher Middleton and my friend Susan Bernofsky and published

J'aime profiter des fêtes pour me projeter un peu. Même si Temples II est en cours, j'ai envie d'étudier un virage en termes de sonorité pour après. Mais mes habitudes de vieux bouc reprennent toujours le dessus. Du coup je me suis dit, pourquoi ne pas s'inspirer de visuels ? Je vais donc commencer par là pour l'après. #mrteddybear #aiart #newdirections #beats

In the meeting at CUNY, Roger Toussaint obscured the central role of the Democratic Party and whitewashed his own role in sabotaging the strike.

I checked out Material Wealth: Mining the Personal Archive of #AllenGinsberg from the SF Public #Library (from the Park Branch in the Haight.) it is a selection of items from the Ginsberg papers at Stanford University. It is arranged chronologically and is a collection of photos, ephemera, letters, flyers. There are also some short essays such as a chapter titled 1965 about Ginsberg, #Dylan, #JerryRubin and the Hells Angels. There is also a four-page essay on the Chicago 1968 events with quotes from Jerry Rubin, #JimFouratt, and Ginsburg’s 1969 Playboy interview. Editor Pat Thomas is particularly interested in Ginsberg’s musical recordings (and has been involved in reissues of some of them) and closes the book with a chapter titled Music Recordings.

I like this sort of annotated ephemera book (see also #NewDirections publisher #JamesLaughlin’s “The Way It Wasn’t: From the Files of James Laughlin.”)

By the way, copies of my zine are in Ginsberg’s papers at Stanford but they didn’t make it into this book.
