Information About

Parker Tyler




He co-authored '' The Young And Evil '' ( Obelisk Press , 1933 ) with Charles Henri Ford , an energetically experimental novel with obvious debts to fellow Villager Djuna Barnes , and also to Gertrude Stein . Tyler and Ford co-edited the Surrealist magazine '' View '' until it folded in 1947.

A writer for the journal '' Film Culture '', Tyler is one of the few film critics to write extensively on Experimental Film and Underground Film. His ''Screening the Sexes'' (1972) is thought to be the first book-length study of Homosexuality in film. Other books of film criticism by Tyler include ''The Hollywood Hallucination'' (1944), ''Magic and Myth of the Movies'' (1947), ''Classics of Foreign Film'' (1962), ''Sex Psyche Etcetera in the Film'' (1969), and ''The Shadow of an Airplane Climbs the Empire State Building'' (1973).

Tyler's books became popular -- and some old titles reissued after being out-of-print for years -- after Tyler was mentioned several times in the novel '' Myra Breckinridge '' (1968) by Gore Vidal .
