want something to look forward to?


I was browsing the non-book website Rottentomatoes, and came across this story and thought, whoa, awesome. It said:
"After the extraordinary success of No Country for Old Men, the Coen Brothers are hitting the books again, this time adapting Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union. The two will direct the film after their next announced project, the dark comedy A Serious Man."
I haven't yet read Chabon's latest book, but I love his work and have read all his other books (except Summerland). The Coen's can do pretty much anything, it seems, and Chabon is a graceful and wonderful storyteller, so start anticipating.

Dear Anonymous,

Thanks for the link. Very interesting. The author makes a good point about the book. One thing he didn't mention which I think should be considered in the context is Gilbert's previous book: The Last American man, macho adventure porn to the max. And also a very good book.

i loved last american man, and it is the reason that eat pray love interests me the most.
