Shea Serrano

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Shea Serrano is back, and his new book, Movies (And Other Things) (Twelve), combines the fury of a John Wick shootout, the sly brilliance of Regina George holding court at a cafeteria table, and the sheer power of a Denzel monologue. Many, many things happen in Movies (And Other Things), some of which are funny, others of which are sad, a few of which are insightful, and all of which are handled with the type of care and dedication to the smallest details and pockets of pop culture that only a book by Shea Serrano can provide.
