Its artistic and mythic pedigrees are of special interest. Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke faced a number of challenges in producing an intelligent and innovative A-list movie in what--almost a decade before <em>Star Wars</em>--was considered a second-class genre, science fiction. The author explores the film's enigmatic storyline and offers a fresh perspective on several artistic elements such as production design, special effects and the use of music.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"With enthusiasm and efficiency, Frinzi covers how Arthur C. Clarke's short story turned into what now is a classic"--<i>Flick Attack</i>; "<i>Kubrick's Monolith</i> is the most profound and best written analysis of <i>2001: A Space Odyssey</i> I've come across since the movie was released in 1968. It's almost as if Joe Frinzi had resided for a time in director Stanley Kubrick's brain. Through this book, I learned more about the film that I was in, than I ever knew from having been in it. Enjoy a fabulous read."--Keir Dullea, actor <i>2001: A Space Odyssey</i>.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Joe R.
