Pocket Essentials is a dynamic series of books that are concise, lively, and easy to read. Packed with facts as well as expert opinions, each book has all the key information you need to know about such popular topics as film, television, cult fiction, history, and more. Applying a quintessentially British mix of dry wit and black humor to all their work from the impossibly noir Blood Simple to the wonderful The Big Lebowski, Joel and Ethan Coen have crafted often hysterically funny, startlingly unpredictable, and surprisingly moving reworkings of the crime genre. In this book, Cheshire and Ashbrook tackle recurrent themes including family, dreams, religion, and references to the work of Stanley Kubrick with dry wit and erudition.

Review
“These miniature guides are packed to the margins with important facts and enlightening commentary.” -- Publishers Weekly
From the Publisher
Pocket Essentials is a dynamic series of books that are brief, lively, and easy to read. Packed with facts as well as expert opinions, each book has all the key information you need to know about such popular topics as film, television, cult fiction, history, and more. In addition to an introduction to the subject, each topic is individually analyzed and reviewed, examining its impact on culture or history. There is also a reference section that lists related web sites and weightier (and more expensive) books on the subject. For media buffs, students, and inquiring minds, these are great entry–level books that build into an essential library.
