Recent Reading: Holmes/Watson

I recently watched the Downey/Law Sherlock Holmes movie and thought about Holmes and Watson fiction that I’ve recently read. Below are two of them.

SARASOTA HALF IN DREAM is an experimental documentary about dead turtles, crab swarms, decaying tennis courts, and microscopic histories. The filmmakers shot their explorations into the abandoned golf courses, factories, and resorts of Sarasota, Florida and spoke to local youths who are using them for new and strange purposes.
