Just finished Ruth Rendall’s latest, “The Water’s Lovely” - a bit of a disappointment, sorry to say. Last night, I started “Revolutionary Road”. Leonardo De Caprio and Kate Winslet were in my town over the summer filming the movie version. Very tortured so far - intellectual malcontents in post-war suburban Connecticut. Ouch!
It reminds when a few years ago, a neighboring town was the setting for Ang Lee’s star-studded movie, “The Ice Storm.” All the townsfolk, my in-laws included, were quite impressed with the whole thing. Then the movie came out and the inhabitants were portryed as desperate, lying, substance-abusing, key-swapping swingers. Ouch again!!
Aaaahhh! Suburbia!!!
