Crooked Timber: Essays on Film and Music
Selected articles, reviews, essays and short stories, published by Joe Dolce, in Quadrant magazine, 2006-2025,
with a foreword by Academy Award winning director, Bruce Beresford.
"Re-reading dozens of Joe Dolce's witty and informative articles has tied
me up for weeks (this was NOT an ordeal) while preparing this introduction
to Crooked Timber... I look forward to more songs, more stories, more essays, more reviews,
more poems, and more recipes from the energetic, charismatic Joe Dolce."
Bruce Beresford, Sydney, 2025
" I watch a lot of movies ,which for me is pure entertainment and relaxation, but in writing these articles, I have also read the source novels and other writers' criticism.
I once thought being a food critic would be an ideal profession, as I love to cook, but I would put being a film and television series critic up there on that shelf as well, as watching films, as I'm sure it is for many people, is one of the great magical experiences of life." Joe Dolce
