A dear friend of mine wanted to make a made-for-tv movie out of it, so I wrote it out into a screenplay. But he couldn’t get enough backing to do it.
I always tell people who ask about the book that 1) they had a picture of me dead at 6 years old, in a coffin, and 2) I stabbed my brother with a knife and threw him off a bridge.
But you’d have to read the book to find out what happened.
This is important. Nowadays, with the barbarianism, often stuff from TV and youtube become book material instead of the traditional way before where it was books which inspired graphic or video material. Also books are more and more written with a compatibility with youtube and video in mind.
Alessandro Baricco talks about the barbarian model of marketing. It is frightening but there are silver linings.
