About this listen

Because Audible was not granted digital audio rights to today's issue of Fresh Air, we have selected a great interview with film critic and historian David Thomson and sleight of hand expert and actor Ricky Jay British from Audible's Fresh Air archive. Last year, David Thomson's released The New Biographical Dictionary of Film, an updated version of his Biographical Dictionary of Film, which was first published in 1975. Some of the entries from the Dictionary have been revised and new entries have been added. Thomson has taught film studies at Dartmouth College and has served on the selection committee for the New York Film Festival. He is a regular contributor to The New York Times, Film Comment, Movieline, The New Republic, and The Independent. Ricky Jay's book Dice: Deception, Fate & Rotten Luck is a collection of essays about the history of dice and the many ways of cheating at the game. Photographs by Rosamond Purcell accompany the text. The New York Times says of Jay, "He's a master's master." His other books include Learned Pigs & Fireproof Women and Jay's Journal of Anomalies. He's appeared in a number of David Mamet films and his one-man shows include Ricky Jay & His 52 Assistants, and Ricky Jay: On the Stem. (Original Broadcast Date: December 2, 2002)
