COUNTDOWN TO GREATNESS

Dog Days (Hundstage) by Ulrich Seidl

The investigation took two years, but Foster finally followed the trail to a property in Medecino, where he discovered a shed containing an Underwood typewriter and a letter to jack green with the word “no” written on it in red pencil. Foster had found Wanda at last: she was none other than the poet Tom Hawkins, a man who, appropriately, had been known to disguise himself before going out. Foster also discovered the tragic story behind Wanda’s sudden silence: in 1988, perhaps under the influence of homegrown opium, Hawkins had bludgeoned his wife Kathy to death in his truck. After mourning her for several days in their home, he set the house aflame, and, in Kathy’s car, drove off a ninety-foot cliff into the sea by Bell Point.

“…this notion of Gogol trying to save Russia, Tolstoy spending his life at it…this kind of missionary quality to try and straighten things out and have things the way they’re supposed to be, what the Constitution imagines the United States as…there’s this sort of missionary spirit, like 'Let’s have America the way I want it, instead of the way you want it.'”
