    In defense of Nicolas Cage — the man and the meme — a debate-sparking actor who audiences seem to love and loathe in almost equal amounts
Nicolas Cage: leading man or character actor? Action hero or goofball comedian? Internet joke or one of the greatest actors of his generation? Beyond the gif bait and easy punchline, Nicolas Cage continually frustrates easy categorization or understanding. In National Treasure, pop culture writer Lindsay Gibb studies Nicolas Cage’s acting style and makes sense of the trajectory of his eclectic career. In the process, Gibb debunks the common claim that Cage makes bad choices.
While his choices of roles are seemingly inscrutable, Cage challenges critics and audiences alike by refusing to be predictable or to conform to the Hollywood approach to acting. Much like one of his mentors, David Lynch, Cage aims for art in movie-making. Is there a method to his madness? Is he in on the joke? In this clear-eyed and well-argued volume of the Pop Classics series, Gibb answers both questions with a resounding hell yes.

    "So sensitive and descriptive. I loved the forms and images that came to my mind as I read it!" 
Alejandra Mantiñan - for the chapter The meaning of your personal-development path in tango 
Connection, expression, wonderful tandas; what if you could get more of this? 
In this unique audiobook, which became the most translated tango book in the world, Dimitris takes you on a journey of exploring connection, awareness, and meaning in tango. 
In its short chapters, tango philosophy and meaningful stories merge with practical conclusions in a personal conversation that can change the way you experience your tango forever. 
This audiobook is for those who look for meaning, connection, and awareness in tango; in one word: Tangofulness. 
It is for those who know how it is to be hugged and feel safe; for those who have experienced a few best-tanda-of-my-life moments and want more of them. 
Above all, it is for those who want to explore the origin of meaningful connection in argentine tango, not as an intellectual process, but as a practical way to experience tangofulness more often and in greater intensity. 
Dimitris Bronowski took his first tango steps in 2009. 
In 2019 he quit his job to dedicate himself to his passion: tango. He is the publisher of the bestselling book Tango Tips by the Maestros, a tango blogger, creator of the podcast and newsletter 'The Curious Tanguero', and a student of tango. His vision is to help one million people experience moments of meaning through tango.
