Post links to books and academic essay analysing Nolan's films

I used all of these on my Nolan and Memento essays and some I'm using now for an essay on mythologies in The Prestige.

Someone told me I should put all my sources up here cos some are really interesting reads so sorted them out for you...
I've also posted a small bit from my 100 ( ) Memento essay in the Memento board. Safe to say I also did a lot of my own analysing, but still some of these were extremely helpful.

Glad I could be of service

Do post more if you have. And my suggestion is if someone isn't familiar with anyone mentioned in these, like Lacan or Zizek (who's pretty much continuing Lacan's work and mentioned Memento himself in his book Revolution at the Gates which I posted), do a quick read even just on Wikipedia, cos these guys are awesome lol A lot of my writing is based on their works as it's most of what we studied.

Great, more things to distract me.

These are great, thanks for posting. I feel like they'll consume my life for the next 24 hours.
