Arrows of Desire
Peter Wollen · Selected Writings 1963–2002
Filmmaker, critic, curator, teacher: Peter Wollen (1938–2019) never fit one label, and that is exactly why we love him. This first of three new Verso volumes gathers his uncollected and hard-to-find writing: essays on Eisenstein and Godard, counter-cinema, anti-imperialist reportage, and big, map-redrawing ideas about Mexican muralism and the avant-garde.
We found it through Adrian Martin's review in the Los Angeles Review of Books, “The One That Remembers Also Sings”. Read it, then come pick up the book. Wollen's 1990s years at UCLA also earn him a pin on our B&S Literary Atlas.
