Title - Red Herring Smoothie: A Field Guide to Pandemic Survival through Independent Film [And Memoir]

Author - Brett Revolt Brett Revolt

ISBN 9781734289626

Not listed on Amazon to attach cover image.

Back Cover: "Many writers dream of having their book adapted into a movie. This author pursues the opposite, taking a small pile of minor films and turning them into writing prompts. Red Herring Smoothie is neither a cookbook, nor apocalyptic thriller. It's part movie guide, part memoir. Or maybe it's just a collection of stories, organized by loose connections to sort-of related movies. Regardless, this gives its author the opportunity to combine his penchant for storytelling with a love of obscure cinema. Brett proudly profiles 30 of his favorite independent films, which serve as a springboard for a collection of comical-but-true recollections from his colorful and occasionally adventurous life.

"American author Brett Revolt burst onto the literary scene (it wasn't as gross as it sounds) with the genre-defying novel, The Jitterbug Apocalypse and Ten Orders of Kung Pao Chicken. This follow-up is non-fiction, but it's also full of nostalgia for pre-pandemic life, which allows him to justify using an old photo of when he was in better shape. This is his second book."

Linde | 6549 comments Hi there, thanks for your patience. Please include as much of the information detailed in the message as you can, to request a book be added to the catalog: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

We need a webpage showing the (ISBN/ASIN and other) book data. We also need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
Alternatively, if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new)), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).
