In Bernie, a beloved small-town mortician becomes the most unlikely murder suspect after befriending—and eventually killing—the town’s richest and most despised widow. It’s a sharply observed portrait of charm, gossip, and justice in East Texas. Slacker meanders through Austin’s offbeat streets, capturing a day in the lives of philosophers, conspiracy theorists, artists, and drifters. It’s a funny, chaotic, and strangely profound snapshot of Generation X before it had a name.
