| Well and truly booked! |
| Monday, August 20, 2007 |
Yesterday I was on a plane. I sat next to a man who had a quite serious looking book to read, so I was trying to hide the fact that I was reading very girly 'Jane Austen Book Club'. Only it seems I didn't do a very good job of hiding it since he points to an article in a magazine and says "hey they are making a movie out of your book!"
I'm not sure if Amy Tan means her readers to think her book Saving Fish from Drowning is based on a true story communicated by a dead person through a psychic, but, I mean, that's the story she tells in the foreword. Anyway before I am able to check the veracity of the story (And discover that it's all made up), I tell four people ... that is mislead four people ... including an actor I saw in a play at a theatre in Sydney, which was funny because he'd just been to Burma, where the action in the book takes place. I hope the temple of Female Genitalia really exists because I assured him it did. (Although there was a long uncomfortable silence in the group of people when I asked him if he'd been there) |
