The Nashville Chronicles
The Nashville Chronicles: The Making of Robert Altman's Masterpiece | Jan Stuart
10 posts | 1 read
The Nashville Chronicles is a fascinating journalistic tour de force of the movie that legendary film critic Pauline Kael called "The funniest epic vision of America ever to reach the screen." In writing this book, Jan Stuart enjoyed the benefit of full cooperation from Altman, who sat for many hours of interviews, as well as most of the motley crew of cast and characters. Illustrated throughout with behind-the-scenes photos.

Every time we visit a city, we fall in love with it. The spirit, the vibe, the people: the beautiful and the unsavoury, the colourful and the frightening, the magical and its dirty underbelly. Nashville is exactly what our souls needed before embarking on our huge international move. We feasted on its barbecued ribs, hot chicken, tater tots and grits, flat sausages and white gravy - and the music, oh, the live music. I can totally live here.

BooksTeasAndBookishThings @clconn17 yes! I hope so, it seems perfect that September 15th falls on a Saturday and I believe @Booksnchill said it is Agatha Christie‘s bday! So we should honour that and do a mystery book date ❤️ 6y

#NashvilleLitsyMeetUp and our Fave Librarian @ferskner brought so many ARCs and the pins, @britt_brooke made Cake pops with Litsy colours, and @LouLouLane hosted it at her house and made commemorative bookmarks! I loved the books I snagged from the table!

HeatherBookNerd Awesome! 6y

BooksTeasAndBookishThings @kidamy You May be able to find some near you on the Onward Litsy FB Page? If not, Nashville is a great city to visit anyway lol 😁 6y

britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola It‘s not really my thing either .... so, we‘ll see. 6y
emilyhaldi So fun!!! The Sellout is wild and crazy and I totally loved it. So curious to see what you think! 6y

JGadz11 That unicorn sleeve is too cute! 6y
LeahBergen Wonderful! 6y
britt_brooke @emilyhaldi That‘s the only one in this stack I‘ve already read. I liked it; definitely wild. I‘m hoping my husband might be interested or I may use it in a giveaway. 😄 6y

rustoryhuf @Booksnchill oh my goodness, that tote. @BooksTeasAndBookishThings will you take orders for this bag? Inquiring for a really good friend 😎 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa That bag is great!! 6y
britt_brooke 💚💚💚 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Insightsintobooks @tournevis @rustoryhuf I was given permission to use the Litsy logo and icons to have things made as long as I do not sell for a profit. I am sure @TimSpalding will be okay with it as well? But I had the bag made by this ETSY store owner and she also made a shirt and tumbler with it 😊 https://www.etsy.com/listing/450774260/custom-tote-bags-personalized-tote-bags 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Loved seeing you in person and being able to get to know you more ❤️ can‘t wait for September 🙌 6y
britt_brooke Easy, and her ulterior motives! 💚🐾 6y

JGadz11 Is it weird that I was fangirling on you ladies all day? So cool to meet everyone in person! 6y
Booksnchill @JGadz11 are you kidding- I am up for anecdotes from the world of sex ed in Hong Kong while drinking Moscow Mules any day! So great meeting you! 6y
ferskner It was so great to meet you!!! 6y

Indispensable, fun, behind-the-scenes history on the making of a subversive, American, counter-culture classic (that happens to be set in my hometown... in as much as Robert Altman could "find it," anyway). Great and thorough peak into Altman's process, and an endlessly entertaining read.
