Holy Cow! Holden Caulfield meets Tom Paine!
A guy goes away for a couple of weeks, and the world turns rolly-wholy over.
Our fishbowl overflows with messages, and Scottie (Methusela) Bowman
publicly proposes to pull on the short flannels, while simultaneously
offering to scan sixty extra lines of Suetonius every night, as 'homework'....
Welcome to anybody and everybody who contributed to this happy situation!
When I get time, I hope to go back through the DE DAUMIER thread. Of
course, nobody's noticed me championing this story (the only one that St.
Jerry chose to set in Canada) right here, before everyone's very eyes, at
least since the outbreak of the Punic Wars. Paul's (the "other" Paul)
original post reminded me of the good old days in the bananafishbowl, when
the odd big blue whale of a post would swim through from time to time.
(Thanks Paul!) I'll make my standard move from the sublime to the
ridiculous by briefly pointing out that Bambi Kramer, Jean de
Daumier-Smith's first correspondence course art student, is identified as a
"Toronto housewife" who's favourite artists are "Rembrandt and Walt
Disney".... "She said she only hoped that she could some day emulate them...."
Come on, kids! Jerry's never been so hilarious! It's almost as if he
learned how to write from Anita Loos!
I wouldn't ever want anybody to try to make a movie of CATCHER. But I could
imagine an extremely intelligent ensemble cast--with a brilliant
director--trying to pull off BLUE PERIOD. And they'd have to shoot the
thing in Montreal.... Sigh.
Cheers,
Paul
