Written over a short period \"in the spirit\" of RWF, who would often get films made in a matter of weeks or months, \u003ci\u003eThousands of Mirrors\u003c\/i\u003e presents the filmmaker as Penman's equivalent of what Baudelaire was to Benjamin: an urban poet in the turbulent, seeds-sown, messy era just before everything changed. Beautifully written and extraordinarily compelling, echoing the fragmentary works of Roland Barthes and Emil Cioran, Eduardo Galeano and Alexander Kluge, this story has everything: sex, drugs, art, the city, cinema, and revolution.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan Penman is a British writer, music journalist, and critic.
