I hope that Steve isn't frozen in his basement as I type this. <br /><br />Scott - I love your take on adaptation to the screen....and how an actor (the lovable John Cusack) can effect how that transition is made. Really interesting. I look forward to part two:)Joelle Charbonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608552691748018256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-74103260487079158392010-02-01T17:01:41.898-05:002010-02-01T17:01:41.898-05:00I'm a-blushin'.

Always wondered about that...I mean, I dug "Mohawk" and "Nobody's Fool" and even had a beer with Russo once back in Maine (cripes--gah--working at Colby in the early 90s-talk about icy, weirdness). Going back under my cinder block now.Kieran Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681787953865476304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-22143642877943318532010-02-01T12:06:52.292-05:002010-02-01T12:06:52.292-05:00I liked the movie of THE ICE HARVEST a lot; I love...I liked the movie of THE ICE HARVEST a lot; I loved the book. Perfect tone and the ending meets the often-sought, rarely-met pinnacle of surprising, yet inevitable in retrospect. A great read.<br /><br />I liked COTTONWOOD even more. The best Westerns have heavily noir elements in them, and COTTONWOOD combines the two as well as anything I've read. Completely different voice from ICE HARVEST, as was needed. Virtuoso writing without showing off.Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-91233121704132424532010-02-01T11:41:22.884-05:002010-02-01T11:41:22.884-05:00Wait, The Ice Harvest was a book too?Wait, The Ice Harvest was a book too?jedidiah ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601451789918885612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-27514861639149152732010-02-01T09:51:14.266-05:002010-02-01T09:51:14.266-05:00Nice interview Jay.

And very funny. I always say it's like Little Whore House On The Prairie. And he's a top bloke too.<br /><br />DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780558832861165256noreply@blogger.com
