>I never noticed the metaphor in The Field of Dreams to being that of >Salinger. Makes me want to watch the movie again though. 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) Emily ps has anyone heard anything about the forthcoming movie adaptation of naked lunch? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
