Aahhh, that's the trick. Field of Dreams was a book first, apparently
excellent, by W P Kinsella. And in the book, the reclusive author who in
the movie was Alex Haley was of course JD. But (someone please tell me
if this is wrong) JD raised hell at the publicity he would get for being
a movie character when the movie adaptation was being made, so in the
screenplay he was changed to some random guy. Or so I've heard.
(still mourning for ginsberg as well)

naked lunch?
