Heroic World War I pilot Roger Shumann is all but forgotten by the 1930s, but flying is all he knows, so he takes work as an air show stuntman. Roger's job is demeaning, low-paying and dangerous.

Journalist Burke Devlin chances upon the once-great pilot at one of his shows and becomes fascinated by Roger's undying devotion to flight — and by the alluring LaVerne. Director: Douglas Sirk Cast: Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone, Jack Carson Rock Hudson was an American actor.

Book Club | Under the Neomoon by Wolfgang Hilbig (in-person and online)


Discuss Wolfgang Hilbig's neon-bright reminder of humanity's folly and the importance of storytelling from down below, where the workers toil.  An abandoned construction site. Glowering pits and furnaces. A lone man in a bungalow. Widely considered to be one of the great German writers of the twentieth century, Wolfgang Hilbig's dark visions have long held readers aloft with their musical language and uncompromising vision of the modern world. In Under the Neomoon, his debut short story collection originally published in East Germany in 1982, Hilbig's persistent fixations--factory pits, rampant nature, and split identities--are at their most visceral and brilliant. Rendered into English by Hilbig's longtime translator Isabel Fargo Cole, these short tales apply fluorescent language ("garlands of cast-iron flowers," "tall dark-green water grasses") to lives and spaces of foreclosed dreams.
