The Very Early Wes Anderson: The Undergrad Fiction
By way of the intellectual jungle that is HuffPo comes news from the archives of Analecta, UT Austin's literary journal. It's director Wes Anderson's 1989 short story from his undergrad years! It has some anomie and some irony!
So… am I supposed to listen to British Invasion while I read it?
Mike Tyson would randomly enter the lobby of an Investment Banking firm and punch out the receptionist? That seems a tad far-fetched and perhaps just a little bit racialist.
…living together in perfect harmony?
Where's Owen Wilson in all of this?
An unusually restrained black-and-white mise-en-scène for Anderson.
