Genius-level analysis. If you're a children- or adolescent lit scholar, you need to get your hands on this book. The introduction alone rocked my world. Of course, as with almost all Routledge titles, it's W A Y too expensive to buy on your own, so you might think about asking your library to order it (and then others can get their hands on it, too). HIGHLY recommended.

Though this is an academic work the essays are accessible for the nonacademic reader interested in the topic. Like any nonfiction worth its weight, a first reading should be just that, a first reading. It is usually subsequent readings where connections are made both within the text and between the text and the reader's own background.
Rather than try to highlight every essay, I will mention two things in particular that I took away from my initial reading. The first is rather small in the context of the book but is one of those things we need to be reminded of occasionally. In the discussion of The Fugitive Kind David Markus mentions that while the movie was largely a flop (or at least grossly underperformed) viewing it from the perspective of several decades later gives the movie a new relevance. This is something I think we often forget even though it is why we reread books and rewatch films. This reminder has served to make me want to revisit a number of works that I think I need to.
Second is the essay on the Southern Gothic Film by R Bruce Brasell. This overview is, I think, a wonderful introduction to the genre and brings out the lineage of both works and people tied to the genre. Far too often we tend to have an understanding of something but would be hard pressed to actually articulate what that thing is in any kind of detail. While this essay may not be THE definitive statement of what the genre is, it is a very good statement for those both new to film study as well as those who may have become a little lax in their use of terms.
As part of the South on Screen series from the University of Georgia Press this volume is a valuable addition to the discussion of what, exactly, is "queerness" or "southernness." In addition to those interested in those broader topics I think any reader who enjoys looking at film from different and new perspectives will find a lot to like in these readings of film (and public access TV).
