Charles Lord
Movie essay: Casino Royale
Biography: Charles says: While I grew up in Montreal Canada I have been unable
to extricate myself from Ann Arbor Michigan. Largely this has been

Higher Education. That said, of recent
I have begun to direct my energies instead to freelance writing.
Movie essays are a particular favorite. Anthropologically minded
travel essays are yet another passion. I expect to do quite a bit
of the latter as soon we are off to Bombay India for a year, at least.
I have two daughters, ages two and five, who are nothing less than
this father’s sun and moon.
