I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
"Towards the End of the Morning" was pretty funny. I read it several years ago.
I can't believe that I had to explain "Catch-22" to a young woman in my office today who had never heard of it.
Thanks for the headsup on "Headlong" - I really like Bruegel's work.
I once played Heisenberg in "Copenhagen." Great part.
John: You were building a bomb! Admit it! Admit it!
Actually, I'm still not sure if we were deliberately sabotaging the project or not. There was that thing with the amounts. But my own Heisenberg was so caught up in the pure science that he couldn't see straight.
"Headlong" is an excellent book--Frayn's "Spies" is even better!
I read Headlong on vacation in June. The ending was disappointing - not only because of what happened, but because by then it seemed like Frayn was having trouble of keeping track of all the theories the protagonist was considering. I might have enjoyed it more if there had been some kind of summation of the questions right before the climax.
Copenhagen likewise seemed to fall apart a bit in the middle, but at the end it was all tied together so that even those not interested in physics (which I am) could appreciate it.
I just finished Penelope Lively's "The Photograph", which I found via this NYT book review (praying to the fickle gods of Haloscan hyperlinks....) and which I enjoyed more than Headlong.
Yeah Headlong's journey was better than it's destination but still fun. Saw Copenhagen (not yours John) last year and enjoyed the paradoxes that run thru it. Bought Spies for a friend recently - must borrow it.
Heard Frayn on Aust radio a while ago - he'd spent time here in the 60s I think and became a surfer. Interesting guy...
