August 25, 2017: I've been thinking about Buddy Duress with alarming consistency since first seeing him in action a couple weeks ago. He's my sincere bid for the most charismatic man in North America, the greatest monologuist I've ever encountered, and I bet will sincerely shift a lot of folks' attitudes about incarceration. If I've ever been this pumped about a contemporary movie star, I have no idea when it was. (Photograph by Eric Kohn?)
