Jaimey Fisher’s book, Christian Petzold (A Ghostly Archeology of Genre) has just been published by University of Illinois Press, Contemporary Film Directors series. Prof. Fisher’s book, the first one in English on German director Christian Petzold, analyzes the German filmmaker’s unique negotiation of art and popular genre cinema. 

Fisher’s approachable book should be enough to inspire retrospectives in cine-clubs and archives alike.
