If you’ve ever wanted to see award-winning author John Kessel blown away, I just noticed that you’ll have two opportunities over the next 24 hours.

The Independent Film Channel will be showing the movie The Delicate Art of the Rifle at 6:55 p.m. this evening and at 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning. Kessel plays a professor killed by a Charles Whitman-like sniper.

I’ve never seen this film before, but I’ve heard of it, and I’m setting the DVR now on anticipation of what will surely be an Oscar-caliber performance!
