Lorrie Moore reviews ‘The Wire’

This entry was posted in RichardH's Posts on by

I was late to David Simon’s ‘The Wire.’  I don’t have cable TV.  However, I am hooked on this gritty TV (and now DVD) series about life, death, crime, honor, and corruption in Baltimore. My wife and I have now seen four out of the five seasons of the show. We borrow the DVDs for a season from our public library and then watch all of the episodes over a one-week period. Exhausting and exhilarating.

In the 14 October 2010 issue of the New York Review of Books, Lorrie Moore writes In the Life of ‘The Wire’.

Read the article and then borrow the first season from your local library or from NetFlix.

Note: After a certain (or uncertain) length of time, NYRB articles disappear behind a subscriber pay-wall.

The comment card that he mentions is on the PCCC web site. There is a place to say what you think Elizabeth Warren’s top priorities should be. Besides choosing three items from a list, I also wrote in:

Stop allowing Wall Street Ponzi schemes to dupe the public. Claiming sophisticated investors should protect themselves, when the Wall St purveyors of this garbage know they are lying to bamboozle even sophisticated investors should not be a get out of jail free card.

If the direct video and the link above don’t satisfy you, here is the YouTube Link To Al Franken’s video.
