Katharine Coldiron with Marcelle Heath
About Out There in the Dark:
Katharine Coldiron sees her life through a film projector. She watches The Sound of Music and observes that time is peculiarly preserved in a narrative film; she watches Singin' in the Rain and finds truth and falsehood layered in it like dental veneers; she watches Apocalypse Now and thinks about her father, and a certain Pulitzer-winning photograph of an American POW. Out There in the Dark is a dynamic collection of essays that blends film criticism with memoir and fiction, as well as lists, visual diagrams, and Wikipedia collaging. It plumbs deeply some of our most knotted, abstract concepts: truth, kindness, the West, the female body, war, and—inevitably—Hollywood.
Katharine Coldiron is the author of Ceremonials, Junk Film, Wire Mothers, and Out There in the Dark. Her work has been published in Ms., the Washington Post, Conjunctions, NPR, and many other places. Find her at kcoldiron.com.
Marcelle Heath is a writer and editor. Her short stories have been published in Fractured Lit, Joyland, Kenyon Review, Little Fiction, Nat. Brut, Split Lip, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and other journals. Her short story collection, Is That All There Is? (Awst Press), was a 2024 Oregon Book Award finalist. Currently, she is an editor at matchbook. Marcelle lives in Portland.
