Lust Caution: a postscript

You may have noticed that my review of Luct Caution (below) contains absolutely nothing about the plot. That's because I went to see it knowing nothing about it aside from that it was set in WW2 China, and I think it's the kind of film where the less you know the better. Go, enjoy.

Marie,

Can't agree more re Lust, Caution. Was possibly a few seats away from you! How coincidental as had just done a blog for today's Guardian (http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/books/2007/10/blogging_writers.html), which I hope won't embarass you.

Hello, Maxim! Embarassed, not remotely. It's only really embarassing when people slag me off, and you were so very nice. But I do admit to freaking out slightly when I get mention Out In The World, like: oops, better write something decent now. Anyway, I'm going to a few more LFF screenings so if you see someone who might be me, say hello...

Hi Marie.Just dropped by to say that I read Maxim Jakubowski's Guardian blog and SO very much agree with his conclusion that you are "bursting popular culture balloons with rapier-like energy and sarcasm" (especially on this new blog)Brilliant description!

I sincerely hope you will continue in your witty onslaught (so to speak)for a long time to come.

Best wishes and good luck with your second book.
