Consider this a tutorial in the lost art of close reading. The chapters on narration, detail and character鈥攅specially the discussion of "free indirect style"鈥攐ught to be required reading in writing workshops and literature classes. But Wood lost my interest in the later chapters and the discussion of "commercial realism. " A tone of self-satisfaction can creep into his writing; you sometimes feel the book is being written for a high-minded audience of one: Wood himself? And what's so terrible about Graham Greene, anyway?

Dana Jennings, an editor at The New York Times, has written a memoir about growing up poor in Kingston, N.H., during the 1950s and 60s鈥攚ith classic country music as a soundtrack. I'm glad to see this Yankee claim country music, a genre associated with the South. He makes the case that this music (we're talking Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline et al.鈥攎y favorites) was the music of choice for working-class Americans. He enlarges our understanding of the music. But he skates the surface of many topics and doesn't dig deep enough鈥攇oing that one step further in his exploration of a song, or a moment from his hardscrabble childhood, or in the biography of a beloved singer. Nothing here really stays with you.

I'll admit: I read only the first half of Brody's thoroughly researched biography, dealing with Godard's youth and the films up through La Chinoise and Weekend ; it was a good companion to the recent Film Forum retrospective, "Godard's 鈥�60s." My interest in the later films, and the book, flagged.
