Another early rave, from PW, for Helen Schulman's Lucky Dogs: "Schulman delivers an incisive and thrilling account of women who are hounded by powerful men.... Will keep readers on the hook as it evolves and leads to a surprising outcome. This packs plenty of punch." @AAKnopf https://t.co/ODZEGYX11x

Where, over lunch, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke began the discussions that led to 2001. Maybe those suspended orbs (lighting of some sort?) gave Kubrick the idea for the movie's first shot? https://t.co/IbvRSFUHnu

There is much to cherish here. The book is in Newman’s voice, with occasional interjections... It’s a familiar voice: genial but shrewd, self-deprecating but resolute, not so different a persona from the flawed good guys he tended to play on-screen.

Coming in June from @AAKnopf! “Part thriller, part Hollywood satire, Lucky Dogs is a brash, sometimes heartbreaking saga in which trauma and self-preservation converge across decades and continents. Helen Schulman’s best novel yet.”—Jennifer Egan, author of The Candy House https://t.co/4MjfXgt9EM

In honor of "Dr. No"'s 60th, here's my 2009 @VanityFair profile of the late, great John Barry. "Music by Monty Norman... 'James Bond Theme' played by John Barry & Orchestra" is one of the more complicated (and adjudicated) credits in movie history... https://t.co/kFGlIPOfjt
