Exploring two cult classics from the 1990s, the book examines the films Smoke and Blue in the Face, crafted by Paul Auster and Wayne Wang during a pivotal time for American independent cinema. Smoke centers on Auggie Wren, a cigar shop owner in Brooklyn, and the diverse characters that frequent his shop. In contrast, Blue in the Face serves as a companion piece, featuring a vibrant, comedic style with memorable cameos and ensemble moments. Wade shares his 25-year passion for these films while delving into their production and cultural significance.
