Böcker av Richard Deming

Lawyers are much in demand these days -- overworked and, as some would claim, overpriced. More and more people find themselves needing legal advice in such matters as making a will, buying a house, defending a suit for damages (or entering one), starting a business, securing one's rights as a consumer, obtaining a divorce. How is the gap to be bridged between the supply of lawyers and demand for services? One answer, growing in popularity everywhere, is the paralegal, also called the lawyer's assistant, legal assistant, paralegal assistant, or paralegal associate.

Orson Welles' classic 1958 noir movie Touch of Evil, the story of a corrupt police chief in a small town on the Mexican-American border, starring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh and Marlene Dietrich, is widely recognised as one of the greatest noir films of Classical Hollywood cinema. Richard Deming's study of the film explores its relationship to its source novel, Badge of Evil by Whit Masterson, which apparently Welles never read; traces the film's production history and provides an insightful close analysis of its key scenes, including its famous opening sequence, a single take in which the camera follows a booby-trapped car on its journey through city streets and across the border.

A collection of poems, which engage the content and form of anger, violence, intimacy, and the poetics of proximity.
