I was raised Catholic. I became an atheist at eighteen and then had a period of devoutness that spanned my mid-twenties to my early thirties. I lost faith again in a much bigger and more substantial way when my son was born. I turned away from religion and didn’t look back. Except when I did. My work is imbued with Catholic imagery and symbolism. My characters are, for the most part, practicing Catholics or at least culturally Catholic.

Participation for ,many counts was again up from pre-pandemic participation. Species numbers were average to above average and although some compilers mentioned the scarcity of some of the usually more common birds, other species were found in record high numbers, especially in Pennsylvania.

By William BoyleThe first time I remember meeting Andrew Bryant was at a Magnolia Electric Co. show at the Hi-Tone in Memphis in 2009. I’d seen Jason Molina and his band about nine or ten times before that back in New York (I’d also traveled to Philadelphia to see them), and now I was living in Oxford, Mississippi, and venturing to see Molina and Co. tour in support of their latest album, Josephine. Andrew also lived near Oxford, and we hit it off as Molina fans.

Words by William J. Boyle, Jr. CBC Regional Editor, New Jersey-Pennsylvania The 123rd CBC was run without the dark shadow of COVID limiting participation, which was at about the same level as pre-pandemic counts, but some compilers chose not to hold post-count gatherings. Participation was generally up from pre-pandemic counts. Species numbers were about average on most counts, but numerous compilers again mentioned the scarcity of some of the usually more common birds.

By William BoyleIt’s a risky thing when a novel you love is adapted into a film. There are just so damn many unknowns. Who are the people making it? What are their motivations? Can the actors inhabit the world of the story—cut to the heart of it—without losing what made it work on the page? Even if things go wrong, which they invariably do on movie sets at some point because of all those moving parts, they must cohere into something that captures the spirit of the prose to be ultimately satisfying.

By William BoyleAs someone who was abandoned by my father, I had a very emotional response to Claudia Piñeiro’s A Little Luck, a novel about a woman who leaves her family in Argentina behind after a tragic event for a new existence abroad. In Boston, she has had a long-term relationship with a man named Robert, who she met on her flight to the United States while fleeing Argentina. She teaches Spanish at his language school, the prestigious Garlik Institute.

The video store I frequented in my southern Brooklyn neighborhood as a kid had an unassuming, generic name—I can’t even remember what it was, International Video maybe—but I called the place Wolfman’s because the guy who owned it, the only one who ever manned the counter, looked like a part-time werewolf, like he kept himself locked in the store so he didn’t go buck wild, like he was always on the verge of transforming, hunched and hairy, his mouth foaming.

One of the most revelatory film experiences of my childhood was watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat with my grandparents when I was 10. I can’t remember the exact circumstances—I believe it ran on PBS some lonesome Friday night, though I might be wrong about the night or the channel—but I’ll never forget the impact it had on me. It was my first Hitchcock. It was the first black-and-white movie I responded to that didn’t feature Laurel and Hardy or the Marx Brothers.

Home Crimemag William Boyle über „Brooklyn Supreme“ von Robert Reuland für Crimemag, CrimeMag Juni 2023 Gemeinsame Wurzeln in Brooklyn Eines der entscheidendsten Ereignisse in meinem jungen Leserleben war, dass mir auf dem väterlichen Dachboden „Clockers“ von Richard Price in die Hände fiel. Seit dreißig Jahren habe ich meinen Vater nicht mehr gesehen und auch damals, als er meine Mutter und mich verließ, um in Jersey eine neue Familie zu gründen, und ich ihn dort an den Wochenenden besuchte,...
