Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk.

It was fine

Thoroughly average. I don’t love the dynamic between Emily and Bambleby (who is basically Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle, and Emily is a bookish and vaguely misanthropic Sophie), and I have a hard time believing Emily could have gotten as far as she has being so thoroughly uninterested in the communities she relies on for her research. But it’s cozy and inoffensive.

A fascinating and hilarious deep dive into 30 Rock, Tina Fey's beloved modern classic comedy. In this combination of narrative and oral history, culture writer and editor Mike Roe brings to life the history of the gloriously goofy show through interviews with the creators, stars, writers, and bit players.

Probably would have worked better as a podcast?
Revisado: 05-20-22
This is basically just a 30 Rock fan who happens to be an LA Times journalist talking about 30 Rock. It’s not especially in-depth, it spends a lot of time just recapping episodes, and doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. There are lots of podcasts that follow the format of a couple friends rewatching a series and talking about it - that’s about the level of depth we have here, but those podcasts generally have the advantage of fun rapport between the hosts. This book does not have that. Roe also quotes Jesse Thorn a lot, and while I’m a fan of Jesse and his work, I’m not sure why he’s being treated as an authoritative voice on 30 Rock. As far as a know, he’s just a big fan of the show and has interviewed a few cast members on Bullseye.
If you’re a 30 Rock fan looking for something easy to listen to while you do chores, it’s fine; but I wouldn’t go out of my way to read this one.
