I'd like to see the film after seeing an ed. of the book with a shot of it on the cover.

I noticed when I was up over Christmas, that it was being shown on STV Glasgow. Didn't see it.

Film sounds like it would be terrible. I've already had to watch the excruciating adaptation of Christie Malry, I don't think I could stand to see Berg slaughtered.

Seems awfully familiar too, I must have seen it once, but you lose track of crap British made box office duds.

Recently tried reading "Tiptricks" but I managed two pages and gave up.

And other stories are putting a collection of short stories and fragments by Quin
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 16 January 2018 15:43 (two years ago) link
haven't read the new collection, but it's worth following the ann quin page on facebook. the account, which i think is run by carol burns (alan burns' ex wife), occasionally posts letters and other personal documents

For once I can say the words 'damn I wish I was on Facebook'.
