Susan, That book is dynamite! Also writers are now asking me if I realized our movie Incendies was a great feminist work. I said, yes, as a matter of fact, my friend Susan told me that following the first screening at SXSW. A few pieces are being written on the subject as we speak. mb

Omigosh! I'm love ending my long day with this conversation. I feel like we're all together, just sitting around the parlor. Congrats to Michael. Also, Terry, a confession: I'm only just now reading your book. It's wonderful... makes me at once feel you're right here and makes me miss you terribly.
I miss all of you, in fact. Here's a health.
Much love, Susan

The 1997 class also lost a *Two Gents* student to early departure, though the particular circumstances were quite different. But it was a humbling summer, all around.
Yet additional congrats to Michael!

A Paul Harvey thing here, "the real story" about Owen. He arrived one day and left the next. I provided, demanded, the exit once I discovered (from his mother and the UT police) that he was using Winedale as a hideout from families and legal authorities seeking him for getting a girl pregnant. Nothing at all to do with lines. Only moral responsibility. The folklore about his connection with Shakespeare at Winedale should dissolve, disappear. He was never there.

Famously (or infamously in our circles), Owen Wilson was a Winedale student very briefly in the summer of 1989. (Madge and I were both there that summer.) He opted to leave rather than learn his lines -- we handled it.
It's hard not to feel a bit ambivalent about him even now (in case you were wondering how long I hold a grudge), but he has shown some great charm in some of his movies. (Of course, people feel ambivalent about Woody Allen too. And even about Paris!)

Meant to write on Sunday after seeing the picture Saturday night—9:30 screening, sold out, as were the two preceding screenings. Loved the movie—full of charm and smitten with Paris. Most fun out at the movies in a long while. Congratulations, Michael. xxxm
