1961 - Dir.: Blake Edwards Shown at The FeckenOdeon on 27th December, 2009 "I was nothing like her, but I felt I could 'act' Holly. I knew the part would be a challenge, but I wanted it anyway. I always wonder if I risked enough on that one. I should have been a little more outrageous. But at the time, as a new mother, I was about as wild as I could be. If only I were a Method player, huh? But...

It's been a little while since I've been on here, so here is a brief catchup! Lady Chatterley's Lover - DH Lawrence I don't know what I was expecting when I picked this one up. I knew about the banning and the controversy obviously, and now that I've read it I can understand why. Definitely ahead of its time.

Hey, have you seen this? The Morgan Library has allowed the New York Times to reproduce, online, the full manuscript of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," the story that is now about to celebrate its 166th, and last, Jim-Carrey-free year. Rhian and I actually saw the manuscript--or, anyway, a single page of it--at the Morgan one year; they display it one page at a time. Now you can plough...

There was a today about three years ago as to whether the estate of novelist Vladimir Nabokov should publish his last, unfinished novel post-humously. After a bit of hustle and heat in the literary press and blogosphere, the publication of that manuscript, The Original of Laura , has appeared between covers.

These long anticipated literary mysteries never end in anything very significant — one thinks of Harold Brodkey’s The Runaway Soul, falling totally flat after decades of sycophantic pre-publicity, or Truman Capote’s Answered Prayers, emerging in fragments in 1975, after 17 years of non-work, to scandal but no acclaim.
