the goodness of a sunday
there came a point yesterday where all of the following were facts:
also, i think all of salinger's works about the glass family should be made into films. because, really, they would be amazing. as for casting, i can think of no one better than adrien brody as seymour. (holy freakin goodness he would be PERFECT!) especially in raise high the roof beam, carpenters. as for other characters...emily blunt would be an amazing franny. rachel mcadams could also do it. i know they're completely different but...hm. i'm still trying to think of a good 'buddy.' and zooey...well, if franny were played by mcadams i'd go with ryan gosling because there is no on-screen pair that makes me happier than rachel mcadams and ryan gosling. other characters i need to cast: bessie glass, lane, muriel, booboo glass...i guess the list gets very long.
talk to me about this. i am growing infatuated with jd salinger. developing quite a crush, if you will. and feel his work deserves screen time. because the writing is all there. oh boy, is it all there.
- it was early afternoon
- my mister and i were still in our pjs
- i was reading franny and zooey
- football was on the tv but muted

I too have long been infatuated with the glass family. i love them like siblings and feel connected to them in a strange and wonderful way. there is no better scene/novella than buddy attending seymour's wedding and the trip in the limousine. i can picture it vividly and for this reason i feel that hollywood is no match for my imagination. i am interested in your vision for seymour as adrian brody. i get the height and the angular face but to me seymour is not so dark haired and, well, jew-y. As for franny, i picture her as a red-head.
well. now i'm hooked.
i named my youngest after a character in one of his shorts.
franny would've been my second choice for her. if there had ever been a second choice in the running.
digging your writing and your poetry piece way above this...brave girl. well done. xoxo.
ds, i will need to email you about this. otherwise this comment will be a year long. unfathomable, really.
km, yes! your beautiful esme! i think if i ever have a son, no matter what his name i want his nickname to be zooey. just for kicks :)
