Val Kilmer Is Your Huckleberry
Simon & Schuster will be releasing Val Kilmer’s memoir, I’m Your Huckleberry, in April 2020. The memoir is set to cover the actor’s career, relationships, and his recent diagnosis and recovery from cancer. If you’re wondering about the title of the book: it’s a line from Tombstone that he said while playing Doc Holliday. Between the memoir and Top Gun 2 you can expect a lot of Kilmer press to come.
Angie Cruz’s Instagram Archive
While researching for her novel, Dominicana, Angie Cruz found a lack of photos of working-class Dominican women in 1960s NY. Hoping to fix that she created the Instagram account Dominicanas NYC asking for people to send in images and stories of their Dominicana relatives in NYC between 1950s-1980s.
